Big T-Rex Fossil hunter Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I am 70/30 about this bone being a fossil it is lighter though so I fuse it could just be recent enough for a normal bone. And I also think that it is a fossil because it has a rock like color on one of the faces. But even better question what animal is it from? And again I don’t expect anyone tou know what this is from. Remember this is from the badlands in South Dakota in the white river where the hill is exposed and rocks are sitting on the bottom on the river.

Rockwood Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I would call it a fossil. Unless it was a park ranger asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 You might consider a burn test to see if it is modern bone. I'm not sure that it is bone, however, either recent or fossilized. Wait for other opinions. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

ynot Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I also doubt this is bone. It just looks wrong in the grain structures. Could be wrong though. It is hard to get good detailed pictures when you hold the object in hand. A small hand movement will blur the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
