abyssunder Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It looks like an artifact, to me, a conglomerate covered with a thin layer. 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.

Kingofthekats Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah it does look like conglomerate what is it covered with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks like it might be ceramic/concrete. Not a fossil.

Miocene_Mason Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Concrete looks a lot like conglomerate sometimes, I vote that's completely concrete. 1 “...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...
Kingofthekats Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is there anyway to test it to see if it is concrete or conglomerate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Concrete with a thick layer of paint. Conglomerate would not have smooth sides. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Kingofthekats Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah so if it is a artifact that was smoothed down the painted on could be a possibility still be Conglomerate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very likely to be conglomerate. (Native Americans did not use cement before Europeans gave them the knowledge.) 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

caldigger Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think you may have stumbled on someone's discarded yard art. Not old, not a native artifact. Very likely just a decorative piece of statuary that probably broke and the owner chucked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Try to hold a flame to one portion of the enamel and see if it burns or eventually melts. If happens that, the enamel is not pottery enamel, it could be oil paint (ground pigment with drying oil). 2 " 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.

Kingofthekats Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I hold the enamel up to the flame for about a minute and it did nothing to it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Paint is made from ground rock. If it is old it will not burn like new paint that still has the volatiles in it. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
