JoLucyKelly Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi I found this on the beach in Dorset UK. The sediments are maritime Jurassic. I think it is a bone but I've no idea what from or even if it is a bone at all. It has the surface texture of bone and is hollow through as you can see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's a flint or chert nodule, the bone texture is the crust. I can't see clearly, but the internal texture looks like it might have formed around a sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
