ghost1066 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 It looks like a concretion but since you said flint could it be a polishing or grinding stone of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost1066 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 No problem no one knows it all. I don't think what you have is a fossil but a flint nodule. This shape comes up here all the time since it fools so many folks. But it might have been used by people in the past as a grinding tool or it may just be Nature having some fun with us making it look that. But I know from seeing posts here that there are some very nice fossils in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
