pinkus Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I found this in my early collecting days (late 90s, early 00s) in one of the typical Monmouth County Cretaceous stream. The texture doesn't at all say bone to me, but that notch has me wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I think you are right, it's not bone but a river worn rock. The notch is caused, i think by a weakness running through the piece, you can see where a crack continues down from the notch in the top picture. This crack has caused some of the material to fall out or be more easily eroded leaving the notch. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 There may be a slim chance that it is a piece of a coiled cephalopod steinkern. The notch being the eroded remains of a septa. Confidence level of the ID is very low however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrodB Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm not seeing bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heteromorph Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Looks like some Dinos lost their frisbee . I don’t see bone either. Probably just a worn river rock with more of it eroded out along a weakness creating the notch as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankh8147 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Unfortunately, we get a lot of these suggestive rocks in the brooks. I agree with others, not bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
