Last of Wife’s Finds

This looks like a fossilized rock.

[Mark Kmiecik]

A fossilized rock??? A rock turned into organic matter? That's the opposite of how it works.

[Ludwigia]

You mean you think there might be a fossil in this rock? If so, then I can't see it.

I'll agree with "fossilized rock" as this appears to be another piece of phosphatic matrix. Not seeing any bone texture or morphology to consider this representing anything biological.

 

 

Cheers.

Folks, sometimes you gotta take this with a sense of humor.  My wife swore it’s something organic.  I said it’s a POR (plain old rock.). But I threw it out there for expert opinions.  ‘Sorry for wasting your time.

[Danielb]

No need to be sorry we were just confused on what you were asking.

@JonUte Thank you for taking some teasing with grace.

I think you won this round vs. your wife.  

 

That said, I can see the divots in the texture that probably drew her eye, and I can see why this one caught her interest.

 

Thanks for sharing her finds with the forum.  Most of us have been guilty of sharing a few POR's as we train our eyes and learn to identify the good stuff. In fact, it's one of the main ways that I learned here!
