izak_ Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Can we have some more pics? Close ups? We cant identify it from this far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Perhaps a concretion or a steinkern. I don't see any texture detail to confidently say whether or not it is a fossil. What may also help is to say where it was found, and ideally the geologic formation. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm not seeing any bone texture to confirm that it is fossilized bone. Do a quick Google image search for fossilized bones and you'll see some of the telltale features of fossil bone. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I agree that it is a concretion and not a bone. It is possible that the concretion formed around a fossil, though many do not have any recognizable nucleus. At this point it may be worth giving it a couple more whacks with a hammer to see if it splits to reveal a fossil within. Don C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
