fred.head Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi all I wondered if this was bone? Had a femur look to it. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Sorry, but it looks like it's composed rather of stone material than bone. 4 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forum, the resemblance to a femurs shape is really nice, what makes me join the others in seeing no bone is the texture. The slim "neck" of the piece appears to be of a more granular material, apparently softer than the "head" and thus eroded to the shape you see. In most cases you can spot fossil bones by their textures.
