Fossilized Bone??


Limestone

Recommended Posts

Hello, I found this piece today while exploring the beach in Northern Puerto Rico, in Miocene Limestone. 

Found some coral fossils and lots of molluscs shells.

 

I believe it is a bone, it is very dense and heavy and seems to be fossilized but I am no expert. 

 

Please help me ID this piece   Thank you!

more pictures in next post.

I agree with Ynot, the texture is just not quite right for bone.

However, I am also not familiar with rock outcrops of Puerto Rico!

Looks to me like another coral.

Happy hunting,

Thank you for your replies, I did find a few pieces of burrow castings but they look very different to this piece. 

 

I haven't found any bone yet, so I have nothing to compare it to!

There were/are a lot of critters that like to burrow in the sea floor. (Fresh water and dry land too.)

I get the horn stag coral vibe from this piece.

I'm afraid I would need a lot of help turning that feature on :)
