Thefossildude Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi, i need your help here. A buddy of mine found this on an old colonial era site. It actually goes back further. Artifacts such as old pewter spoons were found. Now I know that this is not a fossil, but knowing how knowledge this group is, do you think this is a bone? Few facts. 1) it does not stick to wet skin which I believe is one indicator? 2) there is no marrow 3) it has a layered look 4) part of the surface is flat to me it almost looks like a tobacco pipe bowl rather than bone. So -it is bone? thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello, and welcome to the Forum. It does indeed appear to be a chunk of bone to me. I'm not a bone guy, so wait for some expert opinions. However, it could certainly be ceramic of some sort. Not sure you will get any kind of ID, as identification of chunks of bone are rarely possible.

ynot Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 +1 for bone fragment. Not the right shape for a ceramic pipe/bowl. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
