Andy B Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I see a lot of stone or bone (??) like this in my searching. I usually toss them aside but I wanted to see what you guys thought. They are heavy like stone but come in these odd channeled forms and also just in odd shapes. Just curious what they look like to you. Thanks.

RJB Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi Andy, post a pic of the end? That may help in determinging what it is? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Look like ironstone nodules or infillings to me, but closer pics may prove me wrong. Again. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I agree with an iron concretion, but could be a cast of a burrow also. Can You post some of the odd shaped pieces?

Andy B Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sure, I will put up a few as soon as I can. Iron concretion sounds pretty intuitive. They always strike me as rusty when I find them. And some of the shapes are not what I would describe as animal per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 There are tons of concretions in those streams. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I would like to put them (the first two) in the hollow ironstone concretions category, with no doubt.
