krotbiker Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 hi, this one is a bit of a mistery. some on the Belgium site say it might be a tusk from a wild boar? there is some bone structure on the inside ring. does someone have a idea ? i found it in a river called the Semois( Belgium) i have been searching the web for ever ( that's how i found this great site by the way) but did not find anything that looks like this one.

It looks a bit to some archaeological artifacts made with bone (aca:Neolithic bone brazalet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Daniel AKA (Bones) Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hummm????? Acluistic. Welcome to the Forum!!! Bones v = 0.25 * g0.5 * SL1.67 * h-1.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am afraid it does not look like a boar's tusk to me. The dimensions are wrong. Looks more like an exterior whorl from some sort of ammonite, but then again, it does not look too much like that either. From your pictures, I cannot see any sort of structure to even say it is a fossil. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabetts Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am not seeing any bone structure, it looks like a rock that has been eroded into a ring shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoRon Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It looks like an interior whorl from a large gastropod in which the actual shell material has dissolved leaving only the hardened cast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ron is correct. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
