Tidgy's Dad Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Amethyst and quartz on a chunk of igneous rock would be my suggestion. Hello, Jakob, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. Edited September 18 by Tidgy's Dad 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Moved to FOSSIL ID. Welcome. Well, it definitely is a cool looking rock, but it isn't a skull crushed flat and turned to quartz by unknown forces. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BobWill Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I don't see a fossil but when you have one to ask about you get a better answer if we know the age. If you don't know the age of the deposits where it was found then a location may tell us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mahnmut Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Hi Jakob and welcome to the forum. While of course I do see the similarity to a human skull and even more similarity to some famous skull fossils, I do agree with the others that this is not a fossil skull, but a coincidental lookalike. Very cool one. The part that makes this most clear to me is the maxilla, where there is neither any remnant of teeth to be seen, nor any traces of alveoli, tooth sockets, that I would expect if the teeth where simply missing. Best Regards, J 2 Link to post Share on other sites
