Pozdrav!

I'm not sure what this is: Some Fossil or maybe some hand made tool? I found it as always in my garden I wonder what can this be? I will add pics now:

Weird shaped rock I think. The odd patterns that are visible are likely due to break patterns that were later worn down and smoothed a bit.

No, not a tool. The general shape  somehow suggests antler, but the consistency and weight might dismiss this. Can you retake the straight end views (pictures 3,4)?

The new pictures are also unfocused on the ends of the specimen, unfortunately. :headscratch:

I guess daylight photos may solve this inconvenient feature.

We need to know it it has trabecular texture in the middle or not.

I also forgot to ask the weight of the specimen compared to a similar modern deer antler fragment, sorry.  :blush:
There's no hurry in the ID, and aprofundation might be a good assistant. :)
