New Members David2012 Posted November 3, 2012 New Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hello, I have found this mysterium in the Sahara Desert. What is it? Tooth or bone?And of what kind of animal? Thank you! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I do not see the features of either tooth or bone, but I do see what appears to be fragments of shelly material embedded in it. It could be a worn fragment of fossiliferous rock, containing pieces of sea shells. What is its size, please?

Herb Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I would call it a wind/sand worn piece of shell fragmented rock.
