I know teeth not horse lol My initial thought was petrified wood, but after looking at the close-up, I am thinking a busted vertebrae. Remeber, I am a chemist by trade.

Sharks of SC Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey Sharkdentist, Long time no see! Although your find does resemble a hoof, the section your piece would represent on the animal is comprised of several bones...unless a horse had a serious pathology which fused these bones, it's unlikely that this is a hoof core.
