elizgoiri Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hi! While looking around the steps outside Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum, I came across this which looks a lot like the cross section of a bone?? Unfortunately I have no information as to where this rock was quarried, so I don't know how old it is... I'm attaching another photo to show the other kind of fossils that can be seen on the steps. I assumed they were some kind of marine creatures (rudists maybe, which I'm used to seeing in other parts of the city, in a different type of rock), which is why a bone seems a bit crazy. It would be nice to know what you guys make of it! :-) Thanks!! Elizabeth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 It's a cross-section of something. I can't think of anything that has a bone with a cross-section shaped this way. 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...
elizgoiri Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Oh, my interpretation had been the outline in the attached image, which to me looks just like the cross section of a bone (femur or something). But if no one here sees it that way, I'll conclude that it's just a fanciful interpretation ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
