Agatized Bone Or Something Else?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I found these when I was exploring a petrified forest. I found a gray piece with a distinctive shape and several agatized porous pieces. They didn't look like the surrounding wood. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm... Not sure yet. Can you shoot it end-on as well? Both ends?

But that 4th shot definitely looks like agatized dinosaur bone,

I see these around occasionally, but didn't realize what they were until I saw them from the side and broken. Interesting and pretty inside. My favorites are the orange or red ones.

Still not sure about that first one but I'm thinking it is not bone. Could be wood, could be non-fossil.

And from what I can see all the ones in your new photo could easily pass for dinosaur bone fragments.

Thanks much, Carl!

Looks like wood to me from the last picture of your first post. I've got similar pieces.
