Looking For Help Identifying A Fossil.

[HeXor99]

I recently discovered this fossil in a pile of quarried stone in central Ohio. I'm typically an arrowhead guy and haven't done anything paleontology related. To myself and many others this appears to be a bone fossilized in stone but I'm far from knowledgeable on the subject. If anyone could help identify it or confirm it's a bone or something else I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Since your photo did not post you'll either need to resize the image or you may have not uploaded the image correctly. To resize the image you can open it with paint then click resize image. A window will open with pixels and horizontal numbers, they should say 100. Next to the pixels, you'll want to change 100 to 30 for both. There is no need to change the horizontal numbers. Save image...to upload you'll click choose file ...after it's chosen click attach file. Next to the file it will say add to post...click it. Your attachment will be added...then click post.

I hope this helps your issue.

Best regards,

Paul

Thank you. New to the site and my first post. Just took me a minute to figure out how to upload properly.

Welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately, I am not seeing any bone texture to this item.

I would label it as an infilled burrow.

I can see from the end view that it contains small clastic inclusions, indicating that it is a sediment-filled void: an infilled burrow is the best bet.

Hey, keep them coming.

Awesome, thanks folks! Not as cool as a bone but still fascinating nonetheless. Will make a good book case decoration. Thanks again.
