coled18 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It almost looks like a part of a mammoth tooth. I am no expert at this, but if it were to be from a mammoth, it would likely be from the Pliocene (or later), which came right after the Miocene. 1 CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientEarth Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Looks geological to me, maybe banded iron/hematite that was deposited way back when. Try and slice or grind the end down to look for cell structure... if a standard test for hematite doesnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I’m not a professional, but I’m certain that is ignious/volcanic rock, as in lava. See how it almost looks like it was melted and then layered. I know nothing about the geology of Poland, but my bet is you have or did have volcanos nearby where you found this. I agree it looks a bit like hematite, which for the most part forms at temperatures over 950 degrees C. However I think it may actually be basalt lava. It appears to have been a low viscosity lava to layer like that. Try googling basalt lava. http://meteorites.wustl.edu/id/lavarocks.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
