Schuch Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Any ideas on what this is...looks like fossilized bone. See the ball for scale. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. Where was this found? It looks like a chunk of suggestively shaped limestone, to me. I don't see any bone texture to this item. Wait for some other opinions, though.

Fossildude19 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Can we get a few more photos from different angles? Top, Sides, front, back, and bottom would be helpful.

Troodon Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Agree, I don't see bone just a geologic structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 where at in NC? Much of the piedmont and all of the mountains are bereft of fossils. There are Triassic basins in the Piedmont though that have rare vertebrate fossils and of course the coastal plain has probably hundreds of sites. There are pieces of Peedee rock on the beaches in Brunswick County that look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
