BLT Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hello, I am hoping someone can tell me whether this is rock or bone? I found it in a creek in middle Tennessee. Thanks! ~ Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimB88 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It would be rock..there are no formations in middle Tennessee that would have large bones in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Looks like a piece of limestone with calcite crust, not seeing any fossil. Definitely not bone. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Fossildude19 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Looks like a concretion, to me. The different layers are a distinguishing characteristic.

BLT Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks, @Fossildude19. I wondered if it might be a concretion, but the shape was throwing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Happy to help. They can look like other things at times. Bones, eggs, whatnot. Mother Nature is tricky that way. And please, call me Tim.
