Kane Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. My guess is that it is not a fossil, but some kind of weathered sedimentary stone, possibly sandstone. Of course, providing any information as to where it was found may prove beneficial. The black surface from sanding is certainly making this an odd piece. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubavet Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) wife's uncle passed away and this was given to my wife. not sure what it is. Story passed along is dinosaur tooth, but not buying it. Any thoughts? Piece is 7x5x3 inches and weighs north of 10 pounds. Wife sanded down top side and it is shiny black.

ynot Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think it is petrified palm. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
