CHalifax Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Object found at Happisburgh beach United kingdom from the Cromer forest bed, was unsure whether or not it was a bone or wood fragment, I gave it some force to see if it would snap to see if it was wood it did, but still unsure, when tapped with a hammer it sounds like stone, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

caldigger Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Definately bone! You might be hard pressed to get much further ID, but the shape in the last picture resembles a piece of rib to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE&i Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes, almost certainly bone, I’ve a similar example that has eroded out of the Cromer forest bed its quite dense and could even be elephant. 1 Regards.....D&E&i The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty. https://lnk.bio/Darren.Withers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE&i Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 With the Cromer Forest Bed Formation, aged between 500,000 and 2 million-years-old and stretching from Weybourne on the north Norfolk coast to Kessingland in north Suffolk is rich in fossils, including the 650,000-year-old West Runton Mammoth (or elephant). My piece of bone was found at West Runton in the shingle on the foreshore.
