daves64 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 This object came with the whale bone I posted about recently. I'm not sure if it's biological or geological so I figured I'd throw it into the room & see what happens. 8.5 cm long x 4.5 cm wide x 8 mm thick (roughly). Flat with a slight curve. This was the shape when found. I sanded the broken part for better internal views. Pics labeled 4, 5 & 6 are closeups. 4 being the break running from side to side, 5 being the break running lengthwise & 6 a closeup of the outside surface. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Is it hard or soft? Will it scratch a copper penny or a knife? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

daves64 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 I'd say it's a little hard, yeah.. just left a nice groove in a penny. No scratch on a knife blade though.

ynot Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I am thinking more along the lines of a vesicular basalt. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

SailingAlongToo Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Photos 1, 2 & 3 definitely look like a chunk of fossilized bone.
