Just odd to find a solid rock here.
Kane Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Very likely differential weathering. A fossil skull would have bone texture and bilateral symmetry, which this piece does not. I would class this as a dimpled stone, but not a fossil. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer
Fossildude19 Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Sorry, but not a skull. No bone textures. No sutures. No bilateral symmetry. No skull morphology. This looks like a rounded river cobble, with the expected marks from repeated collision/percussion with/against other rocks. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

doushantuo Posted November 3 Posted November 3 fully agree with Kane and Tim the result of geomorphological processes ( probably fluvial erosion, as Tim pointed out ,the result of collisional impact between particles But: I like it as it is, it's still a nice find
