I found this while rock hounding in the desert out of Del Rio, Texas. I've never looked for , nor ever found any petrified wood before, so I really have no point of reference. If you guys/ gals could help me, that would be greatly appreciated . Thanks, Joe

I think it's a vertebra/ fossil , but i'm not quite sure. Help!
Joe Salande posted a topic in Fossil ID
Greetings guys/ gals: This is something that I found in the desert out of Del Rio , Texas. I'm pretty sure it's a vertebrae, but looks odd, sort of like a vertebra with a compression fracture. It's definitely bone, I can see the trabeculization pattern. I'm puzzled because it's heavier then actual bone, but a bit litter then a solid rock. It is a heavy lime stone area which could account for the lighter weight . So, any thoughts would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance. Joe- 6 replies
