OutdoorZ Life Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I found this while sifting material from a known fossil brook in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I though it might be a tooth, but I am not sure. It is hollow and somewhat brittle. It was found in the brook. Thanks in advance for any help/ideas of what this could be!
Fossildude19 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Well, it's not a tooth. It doesn't have any enamel, so ... not a tooth. Could be a burrow/trace fossil, or an odd piece of bone. (Though, I highly doubt bone.) Conversely, it could also be a rhizolith/root cast from a plant. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
