dude I think that is just a granitic rock that have been eroded over time

U think so!?….lol I know granitic bro this isn’t that I’ve been working on this specimen for over 4 months I’ll update the pics once there is more detail exposed

ok

it looks more like a pice of concrete with a rope atached to it

Hello again. I’m sorry to tell you but this is a peice of chert. The fracture is very characteristic of that rock.

mackenzie-smith you’re correct.

i’ll add more pictures

I disagree @Mackenzie-smith I can see some resemblance to chert but in fact chert is a black opaque color is it not!?….this piece is clearly white

oscar velasco you are correct.

Chert can be a variety of colors: red, gray, black, pink, white, green. Depends on other elements that are around when the rock forms.

Hi there. So this is either a peice of cement or a conglomerate. See how there are smaller rocks in the rock? It is neither a skull nor bone. Skulls have multiple bones and bones would have striations/scarring from muscles.

@jbauer is this a fossil!?….

Hi, @oscar-velasco – it looks like a rock to me. Hard to tell what kind from images.

@jbauer really!!?…. lol I would show it to you in person if I could I was under the impression that you knew what you were looking at from pictures

@oscar-velasco to clarify, it does not look like a fossil to me. If I had to guess the rock looks igneous to me but like I said- hard to tell from images. Bring it to your local paleontologist.

Your photos suggest mafic intrusive igneous rock. The “foot?” is an erosion feature. Cool!

@james-brown 🎵get on up!!HEYY!!🎶🎶lovin’ the name bro thanks for the input

@jbauer it’s not a igneous rock AC/DC is igneous rock….lol jk thanks for input really appreciate it

this looks like the head of a humerus

This is actually the distal end of the femur. It looks more like cow or bison. Dinos don’t have those divots on the condyles. Also, generally speaking, most dinosaur bone is permineralized meaning the pore space in the bone is filled.
