Brittney D. Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Found back in 1998 in a new neighborhood in Rogers, Arkansas area where we had purchased a new house....the neighborhood before establishment was hundreds of acres of cow pasture and farming land. The neighborhood was new and the land my house was on was fresh turned dirt. My son kept this all these years and is now in college, he always called this his "dinosaur bone" and we have always wondered would it could be.

RyanDye Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I would be more specific with the location, that could help with an ID. In my opinion, it looks to be a toe bone, however I do not know of what, welcome to TFF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Does not look like bone to me. Looks more like a chert nodule. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Brittney D. Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 It is very pourus though...I need to take some better photos....I can see areas that look like bone structure....and sort of a “bone joint” looking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Chert nodules like to take odd shapes and often resemble the shape of a bone. The texture You refuse to is not a bone texture, but is common for chert nodules. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

RyanDye Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just now, Brittney D. said: Your photos were to show its porous, however I agree with the other members, under closer examination this is not bone at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Looks like there might be a shell fossil on the end of it. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

ynot Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I wonder if it could be a sponge. Maybe @Spongy Joe can help. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
