CHalifax Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Found in happisburgh today, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is? Fossil bone is what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We need more light and closer up photos. Looks most like wood. Where is Happisburgh? Formations in the area might help us give a better ID. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I agree with wood. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHalifax Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I will take some better photos tomorrow. I thought it may have been wood but it is very dense and heavy, not what you'd expect with wood. Happisburgh is in Norfolk, UK . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHalifax Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 The area has a forest bed quaternary in age, as well as glacial deposits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a metal knife blade scratch it? My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Looks like petrified wood to me. Try this: 21 minutes ago, DPS Ammonite said: Does a metal knife blade scratch it?

ynot Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It does have some features consistent with petrified wood, but I would like to see pictures of the ends and dry.
