JonUte Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This looks like a fossilized rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 A fossilized rock??? A rock turned into organic matter? That's the opposite of how it works. 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...
Ludwigia Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 You mean you think there might be a fossil in this rock? If so, then I can't see it. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 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. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonUte Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Cole Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 @JonUte Thank you for taking some teasing with grace. 2 hours ago, JonUte said: My wife swore it’s something organic. I said it’s a POR (plain old rock.). 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
