That is uncommonly strange, 'edd'. Please let us know what you find out about the object.

to me, that could actually be something good. i think i'd have to show it to an expert on fossils from the area in which it was found. looks almost like external "skin" structure of something. i'd guess that it's the broken-off head of a paleosharkilizard.

I like its look. Actually very pretty color and texture, but I am at a loss as to what it is. Can't wait to hear when you do find its ID.

It looks like BMores pic #2.

My first thought was that it was a chuck of a root of a tooth or somthing.

I agree with jax and bmore. Looks

so very much like bmore's fish ballast bone

although yours is heavily mineralized.

Love the color! Haven't a clue what it is. It will be up to the resident Florida experts to id. It radiates like my pearl avatar, but I know it's not a pearl. I will be looking forward to an id.Thanks for posting.

just throwing this out here: what about a carpal, bone from the ankle articulation of an aminal such as a horse?

What a cool find! I love how it has been replaced by minerals. I wish I could tell you what it was. I hope someone can help you IDit. Let us know what you find out.

It looks like the head on my little whale sculpture I have here in front of me.

I was actually thinking something similar. for some reason, the kinda polished area with a ridge around it makes me think of a dermal dentical. But it's very large for one of those.
