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. Link to post Share on other sites
ynot Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Is it hard or soft? Will it scratch a copper penny or a knife? Link to post Share on other sites
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. Link to post Share on other sites

hndmarshall Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 from the looks of it in the really close up pics it has the look of bone first yours then my plesiosaur or mosasaur paddle bone and a couple close ups I purchased not sure which it is... what you have could be a worn flat bone of some kind.???

ynot Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I am thinking more along the lines of a vesicular basalt. Link to post Share on other sites

SailingAlongToo Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Photos 1, 2 & 3 definitely look like a chunk of fossilized bone. Link to post Share on other sites
