Bone or not?

Recommended Posts

Hi! I found some pieces of petrified wood of Cretaceous Period, and same time found some fossile that has not typical structure for wood. It looks like fingerprints or something. I think that it is bone. Could somebody tell me what is this, and if  it is bone - what animal it was belong to? It was found in Kazakhstan. Sorry for my english and thank you!

looks like a broken off tooth at your palm. Bone ornamentation looks fishy but am just guessing. A very interesting piece.

It does look quite fishy (meaning possible fish bone). And i definitely see what Plax is saying about the "broken tooth" object.

 

I would say there is a very good chance that this is bone. 

 

Let's hear what others say....

Welcome to the forum

Do you know if this was found in a marine or terrestrial deposit.  

Thank you! I do not know for sure, but there are a lot of petrified wood in that layer, and no marine fossils. Layer looks like aggregation of yellow and wite semitransparent pebble stones. Our paleontologyst sayd that this layer is from Cretaceous Period.

This parts of wood was found at same place:

We just need the right person to look at this object which may take a while. Can we get a straight on pic of what looks like a broken tooth? If you could get the matrix off it would help also. I've had everything from turtle ribs to mosasaur maxilla run through my head but nothing makes sense.
