New Members Solis Posted May 7, 2022 New Members Share Posted May 7, 2022 Any advise, help, direction in identification of strange rock that appears to have been some biological creature. Under digital magnification there are impressions of theet , jaw line, decomposition of tissue ( best guess) spin or skeletal structure and of course the ugliest skin/scale ive seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Sorry, but I am not seeing anything fossil related here. Appears to me to be a chunk of mudstone or limestone. Can you explain what it is about this piece makes you think it is a fossil? 6 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The photos are terrible. As bad as mine! But I see nothing to support an organic origin to this piece. 1 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday i came across types of limstone and it certainly answers questions on another item i have . pattern structure , color etc.. Mudstone ill look into next. Thats why i joined. Someone could point me in right direction. Im here to learn more than i know. Newbie. I have better photos with regards to my inturputation in being a fossil. Randomly selecting everything but a zoomed photo of what i thought might be teeth of various size in and around an area (again) i thought might be a jaw line. I guess possibly crystal formation. Little clear crsystal like spiky, pointed (some broke) teeth. Nevetheless, im sure your suggestions are more accurate as i plan to now follow up on mudstone.. Looking forward learning and seeing lots cool stuff here Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawbone would have bone texture, and jawbone morphology. None of which am I seeing in your item.
