The Neanderoll Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello again! I also found this yesterday It was weathering out of the ice age clay along the Yorkshire coast. Definitely rock and as I've cleaned the clay off it's resembling bone - but I'm a totes newbie, so it could well be a geologic quirk! What are your thoughts? Once again! Thank you for the advice! This forum is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpa Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not a bone, but a very suggestive rock. I'd sure have given it a very close look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 41 minutes ago, grandpa said: Not a bone, but a very suggestive rock. I'd sure have given it a very close look. I believe grandpa is correct. It has a very suggestive shape, but based on the pics, I don’t see any diagnostic details of bone. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neanderoll Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Darn you, suggestive rock *shakes fist* Haha! Thank you @grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Ma Nature having fun with you again. Indeed, a suggestive shape but as stated the broken end does not show evidence of cancellous (spongy) material inside but seems more like a sedimentary rock. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I would have picked it up and given it a good, long look too. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
