SandJ Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) My daughter and I love to collect shells, fossils, shark teeth, etc... I collected this from an unusual location...a yard sale lol Bought it along with a few sea shells. Thought it somewhat resembled a bone. It looks like it came from the ocean due to the texture. It weighs 10.3 oz, so somewhat heavy for its size. Edited March 7, 2017 by SandJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sorry, but this is an interestingly shaped piece of limestone. Ma Nature has a sense of humor. Not quite bone textured, but you are correct, it looks like it came from the ocean,... from a long time ago.

fifbrindacier Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi, i think this is a concretion of some kind wih debris of shell in it. But as i'm not a bone expert, please, wait for the opinions of other members. Where is VA ? "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

fifbrindacier Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 OK, thanks. Sorry, but i'm really too far from Virginia to give you information on your nearby sites. If you write virginiaor Shenandoah Valley in the search window at the upper right of that page, you might find more information. And i also think there is a thread speaking of fossil sites. Good luck ! "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) "We only well see with the heart, the essential is invisible for the eyes."
