Can fossil bone have wood like texture

[v100v]

Can fossil bone look like this?Uploading a few more photos in a few minutes.

 

 

 

I'm digging, hyped up to think Ive found dinosaurs (again) I dig too hard cause the texture is strong at the surface, but so fragile under the soil it just crumbles. I keep forgetting that. I really need equipment (glue-stuff?) and experience to do this for real but I' going to  keep looking and digging.

 

Anyway I have this question, dug up what I thought looked like a dino head, just solid rock so i kept digging all excited, high tempo u know, to see if it had a proper head shape underneath too. (And not just mountain/rock going down who knows how deep)

 

Before long I got to this fragile stuff that i can barely tell if its soil, crumbling fossils or what... I didn't notice of course so again, if it is fossils here from dinosaurs Ive ruined all of it. Anyway.

 

Need more experience like I said (also supposedly virtually no dinosaurs have been found in my country but I'm going to change that, cause in my mind Ii think i see them everywhere lol, just gotta prove it...) 

 

Anyway, to the topic question, the wood like stuff.

 

Right next to it there is this wood or fossil bone with wood like texture.  im unsure if its just wood or if fossil bones possibly can become like this too.

 

The core of it seems to suddenly  be very dark brown almost a little melty looking.  So much to learn hehe.. help please.

Looks to me like a recent buried bone or piece of wood (root?).

Unless it's from an area that has dinosaurs and the bones are known to look like this (have this poor preservation), I would think it extremely unlikely dino.

The thing is, virtually no dinosaurs have been found in my country at all, It is said that it is extremely rare for it to fossilize here - so *challenge accepted* cause I think it's nonsense. I'mma find em. I think I've found some already tbh but trying to prove it and collect more potential evidence. 

 

I think it mostly has to do with the notion that it's almost impossible here so no one is looking for it, and no paleontology educations here that I know of at all so we have no scientists looking for it. 

 

I'm very optimistic tho. 

 

I think it's lot to do with the pre assumption by our science, and that 

the potential ways bones/dino fossils actually can look are unknown.

 

I think i'm on to something so I'm on a mission to prove there really are dinos to be found here hehe ..success in the end or not I'm having fun, I got pretty good tactics tho...

 

Btw

this is not my "evidence" or indications at all, so far. this is from what I found jus now and just need to expand my knowledge..... anyway here are a few more I just took of one of the "wood" or fossil  sticking up like a broken horn, or simply a tree lol. 

 

 

 

 

what I need to know mostly is if some type of bones (like dinosaurs) has the potential to get this wood texture or not...

 

Or some other wood texturea. 

 

I've read up on it real quick that dino fossils Can get wood like texture but seems limited to certain kinds, and also I wanna know all varieties.

 

If some got pictures of wood like fossil bones, preferably dino, feel free to share 

 

all help much appreciated!

It comes down to geology. If the area in which you are looking is too geologically old for dinosaurs, no dinosaurs will be found. If the area's geology is contemporaneous with the existence of dinosaurs, but the ecosystem would not support their making a habitat there, there will be only a minor probability of dinosaurs. 

 

Rather than "prove," go with the scientific method through falsification. Science and proof do not mix; that is for math and whiskey.

I've no idea how to discern the geological age of an area, lot to learn like I said... I'm trying to figure these things out as I go, and im actually learning quite a bit every trip out in the fields just looking and pondering. I seem to have a decent eye for geology anyway even if i know i know virtually nothing. 

 

Anyway I'm pretty stubborn and got nothing better to do so i'll learn what i can and put the time in. 

 

100million+year old 3d puzzles. It's a good challenge.

This looks like modern wood (not fossilized).

Why not learn about what kind of fossils CAN be found in your area and search for those?  I would rather come away with some common fossils than no fossils at all.

Geologic bedrock maps are going to be valuable here. Here is a nice link: https://www.sgu.se/en/mineral-resources/berggrundsgeologisk-kartlaggning/

 

There is much interest in mapping the bedrock in Sweden at the moment for economic reasons (lithium pegmatites and uranium if/when the moratorium is lifted). 

 

Research into the geology first is the best move to better direct your efforts and time, if not expectations. Just as one would call a hardware store to see if they have something you need in stock before you make the trip, it saves time rather than relying on hope and serendipity.

Sure i can learn about that too...

If dinosaur fossils haven't been found in your area yet, there is a good chance they won't be found. Never say never, but, ... you need to understand and trust statistics, as well.

Everything you've posted appears to me to be consistent with relatively modern wood.

[Mark Kmiecik]

It doesn't matter if they are shaped like wood. If they're not shaped like any kind of bone they are not bone. None of your photos look like any kind of bone.

fix typo

One way to confirm it would be to toss it in a bonfire. If it chars and burns, it won't be dinosaur.
