Ruger9a Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) The seller identified this as a dinosaur bone in matrix. I have two questions (1) Is it a dinosaur bone, (2) Should I prep this fossil to bring out more details or leave it as is?Toe impression 1 Edited October 30, 2019 by Ruger9a add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Unfortunately this is not a dinosaur bone or any other kind of bone. Its a suggestively shaped rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruger9a Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for the information although a little disappointing. That makes the choice of prepping easier. I am curious to see what it actually looks like unmasked... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Looks like some sort of conglomerate rock. The inclusions look like quartz/quartzite. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I think maybe metamorphosed conglomerate ? Well consolidated at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Is that the same seller who sold you the "dinosaur toe cast"? I would not be very trusting of that seller. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
