Rockwood Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I also doubt they are bone. Algae balls perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I’m in coral or sponge camp, can we have some close ups to help the experts (not me)? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm thinking possibly bone here. Can we get a better idea of where they were found? County, maybe? It would help to know what age the strata in the area is. @LordTrilobite @Carl @Troodon Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

LordTrilobite Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah this looks like it could be a bunch of bones. That one rounded piece in the middle of the first photo looks like it could be a vertebra. Otherwise without prep I don't think these things, if bones can be identified.
