Looks reptilian to me


Rockbyter

Recommended Posts

1.5” X 1.0” tapers to blunt point. Structures up close with microscope are fantastic. the fractals And repetition scream complex multi cell but I have been duped many times by rock before. I don’t see how this couldn’t be flesh fossilized but hey. Found in southern Indiana, but in commercial river rock. 22414FF6-7C96-4DAC-8D95-47CBAB8033D1.thumb.jpeg.c83090f7e76f3f5a4200f04da2b4e53e.jpeg

I can't identify it, but I have found quite a few chunks of mosasaur bone over the last 3-4 years - this doesn't bear any similarity to fossilized reptile bones that I have found. 

 

Other will weigh in...

Looks geological to me. I do see some resemblance to coral, but the mineralization looks wrong. Hard to tell from the photos though.

I see what may be something encrusted with Beekite rings.  :unsure:

We'll need better photos to make any reasonable ID.
