ynot Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The long thin piece is half of an incisor, not sure if deer or horse. The other looks non fossil to Me. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingofthekats Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Could the other be polished dinosaur bone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Sorry, definitely doesn't look like polished dinosaur bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some Triassic exposures in Bucks County, but not much in the way of dinosaur bones has been found in PA. Looks more geologic to me.

Miocene_Mason Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I agree with incisor, and geologic, maybe a large grained Quartzite. Dinosaur bone unfortunately doesn't polish itself (although in the Isle of Wight has water polished iguanodontid bones). As stated the Newark supergroups (including the Gettysburg formation and new oxford formation) contains dinosaur remains, but more commonly dinosaur footprints. These formations are well south of you however. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Your darker rock is a fine-grained quartz conglomerate which is a sedimentary rock. Since most of the quartz clasts are larger than 2mm it is a conglomerate. If the grain size were below 2mm then it would be a sandstone. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Everything smaller than 2mm is clay/silt/sand and above pebbles cobbles boulders etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
