It looks like a seed of some tropical plant. I've seen something like that before but can't place it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixflood Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Not sure about that one, but it does look rather seed like. You may want to try the hot needle test just to check to see if it is rock. It could be, all I have are pictures to go by. The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always.

bone digger Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'd agree with the seed ID, either that or an elongated constipated moose scat that someone did the hot needle test too on the end of it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
