LiamL Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Just got back from a lovely sandsend fossil trip. i found afew boney/woody pieces on the beach. I wonder if anyone can tell the difference because i have trouble. This is probably the most interesting. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Need more pictures from other angles to be sure, but first impression is petrified wood. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Tidgy's Dad Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I agree, I think wood, but shots of the ends may help us see it differently. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This last picture makes Me think it is a cryptocrystalline quartz, but not petrified wood. It does not have the proper structure. Does not look like bone either. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Tidgy's Dad Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This new picture makes me think ynot is right. It's limestone with some pretty extensive quartz veining at one end. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
