Horn coral

Hi there @james-brooks this does look like a worn piece of horn coral!

it’s bone, but I’m not sure if it’s a fossil or modern bone

How should I get to know that ?

looks like a sort if volcanic rock but I’m probably wrong

@smudge-smith it seems to have a honeycomb structure on the inside, which could definitely mean either one of our two suggestions. the black colour does look volcanic in fact.

oh yeah @leonardo-miranda my bad!

it looks fissil to me because most of the bone is black?

How do you figure?

My guess would be crinoid stems

Could be crinoid stems, actually probably are

bivalves or brachiopods

Thanks! Is there a way to easily tell how old it might be?

In a word, no. No one can determine the age of a rock simply by a picture.

To be more specific:
If you found it within the bedrock itself, if the rock formations in the area have been mapped, if the geologic maps have been incorporated into macrostrat, then you can look up the location of where you found it and see what formations have been…[Read more]

could you add a scale please?

? Aspidiscus

Beaver?

please provide a location for it

l did a quick search and it’s definitely not a beaver skull

I think it might be a wombat

if you’re Australian then maybe

as l said, could you provide a location?

I found in

I found it at Warburton in Victoria

I would say wombat skull. I looked it up on line. I know my Wisconsin skulls very well but that one is aways away from my stomping grounds.
