New Members drkeithol Posted August 1, 2019 New Members Share Posted August 1, 2019 We were looking for Herkimer diamonds on Mount Tzouhalem on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada today. The area we were in had been blasted to make a golf course which never happened, about 10 years ago. It exposed basalt reportedly from the Devonian period, and there's lots of shale with some veins of clay that the Herkimer diamonds are found in. We found this possible fossil just laying amongst the loose shale. It seems to have some characteristics of bone, and is a fair size chunk. Here's the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Rockwood Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I don't think it is bone. It's close enough that you should wait for other opinions though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
