Thank you
not geologic in origin. without knowing its weight, I’d say bone fragment or coral fossil.
It’s very light
ah. ok. bone fragment. how big is it?
@adrienne-johnston this is definitely a bone fragment from a mammal. I think it is likely a modern one though. Could you take photos from other angles, I may be able to better identify it that way.
I added more photos with me holding it so maybe you can see scale better too.
@mason-hintermeister
@adrienne-johnston This is actually the epiphysis (end of the bone), which is unfused in juvenile mammals so this came from a subadult. I think it is the distal end of the tibia (the part of the shin bone closest to the foot). Unfortunately I don’t know my non-primate land mammal bones well enough to say what species.
