Honeymayoon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Found this on the shore of the Hudson River near Albany, NY. Hoping this is a fossil protruding out and not just a rock! Thanks🙂 IMG_1056.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Sorry, this looks like pyrite to me. The mineral does sometimes replace fossils, but I don't recognize this as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Very difficult to say one way or the other, from these photos. I am leaning towards not a bone, but have been wrong in the past. Bones are not my fortè.  If this were my find, ... I would take it to a local natural history museum, (New York State Museum) and have a paleontologist look at it, in hand.  Cropped and brightened:     1 1    Tim   - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER     VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015                  IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024  _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The natural texture of pyrite could easily mask that of bone. An experienced eye may be able to better say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
