Bug Squash Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Found this in Fremont California many years ago. I stood out while digging in the yard so we kept it. I am fairly certain it is a fossil. I am guessing it is from something big. Maybe a mammoth? Anyone recognize it? But, I notice it has inclusions that look to me like tool marks. Maybe scrape marks or cut marks. Possibly for shaping it into a bone tool like a fist axe. I fits perfectly in my grip. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickNC Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It doesn't strike me as being bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sorry, but I'm not seeing a fossil or tool here. No wear marks/obvious signs of working. No bone texture. Maybe a hard limestone/dolostone, or some sort of chert.

Fossildude19 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Duh... Just a rock. Thanks Y'all It's always better to keep it, ask, and find out it is nothing, than to throw it back, and find out later that it was something after all. We all get fooled one time or another.
