🦖Any fossil/paleo people here?🦖
7 years ago
I sometimes found a rock and I think I am looking at a fossil but I'm not sure.
Anyone can confirm?

From the picture I couldn’t tell (I’m on my phone so the image is small), where it’s broken does it look porous?
Does it hang on to your hand when you lick it and stick it to your hand for a good while?
Sorry for all the questions^^; I used to work for a small dinosaur museum and assisted with field excavation/work.
I honestly don't remember where I picked it up, it's been a while. Might have taken it from the river (Austria), I like bringing interesting looking rocks home sometimes.
I tried and it doesn't stick to my hand when I lick it, but it's also pretty heavy. The outside feels rough-ish, looks like it does have pores?
The inside is pretty smooth (and black)
No prob!! Thanks for helping me figure this out!
It was a fun job and the folks who run the museum are good respectable people, which made working there evens better. ^^
I’m going to agree with
And no problem, I like puzzles and identifying things like these. :)
Yeah someone else on twitter said it could be a flint node, and after googling for some pics (bc I didn't know what that was haha) I agree, I think this is what I found!
It's kinda cool it looks like a femur even if it isn't one :D
Thanks!! Someone else on twitter suggested earlier it might be a flint node, and you both seem to be correct!
Haha, so it's an almost-fossil but not quite :,D
thanks so much!!
