KimTexan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Interesting. It could be that, but it could also be a type of coral or something. It doesn’t look familiar. I hunt the NSR. Which river do you hunt? There is the North, Middle and South Sulfur Rivers all in the same general area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It looks like super tumbled bone, something you'd see people pick up on some of the beaches in the UK (Isle of Wight). However the bones I see from the NSR generally aren't in THAT rough of a condition, so it could be coral, which when river worn can appear similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I hunt the north, I went today by the collapsed railroad and found these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 My first thought was marrow, then I immediately thought coral, but then I settled back on marrow after I looked for comparable corals from the area. If it was coral, it would have to be some type of chain coral I think. 1 Jay A.

Gavin Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I haven't polished or modified it in anyway and it has this natural shine. It may look like my flash but it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
