Max-fossils Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 To me, this just looks like an oddly shaped calcite mineral, or an agate. Not seeing any bone here. I might be wrong.

abyssunder Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Mineral In the idea that it might be a proximal or distal end of a bone, the left and right parts of it would not look like broken parts of something that should have lateral continuity. Speleothems could be very tricky in their form. I've often seen that pattern in cave formations in my country, so I agree with the others. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
