Fossildude19 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I think this isn't either. Possibly a bone shard, but I'm getting a geologic vibe on this one.

Still on the non fossil side here. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

KimTexan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Could be a fossil. The lighting in the pics isn’t the best. Can you take pics in natural sunlight? Natural light is very helpful sometimes on dark objects. Does it seem heavier than it should for it’s size? Pic 2 is more suggestive in shape for a claw, but I can’t tell if the material is claw or bone do to lighting I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am in the geologic camp on this one also. I do not see anything that suggests fossil ...... but better pics could shed a different light.

garyc Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I’m thinking geo as well. Does not look like any fossil I’ve picked from the Brazos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It vaguely reminds me of just the tip of a crocodile claw core, but that's just an impression. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
