CHalifax Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I was wondering if anybody could tell me whether or not this object I found at Happisburgh in Norfolk UK is a sea rolled weathered bone fragment or a weathered rock? Help and advice would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Pictures 1 & 2 look boney. The brush & dust pan and trash can on right side add a nice touch to the photos.

CHalifax Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks for the help, oh yeah ha the bins there incase it is rock and will end up in the bin haha. The sample is very dense if it is bone I would assume from a large animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I am not as sure this is bone. The end pictures do not look like bone to Me, but they are blurred making it hard to be sure. Please retake the end pictures while the object is on a solid surface with bright light (no flash). Thank You. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

ynot Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Looks more like a mica schist than a bone. Sorry but it is not a fossil as far as I can see. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Plax Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 which picture looks like mica schist? This is the mica schist I'm accustomed to looking at: https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrWqv4rsjNcungAATYPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByNWU4cGh1BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=mica+schist&fr=yhs-pty-pty_maps&hspart=pty&hsimp=yhs-pty_maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
