4 weeks, 1 day ago4 weeks, 1 day ago@aktan-orhan this appears to be a perissodactyl upper molar, and given the area you found it probably late miocene in age. Would you like me to send these photos to a scientist to learn more?
P.S. Persiatherium in an advanced state of wear might look like this, though I’m no expert on perissodactyl teeth (I stick with sharks and primates!)

2 months ago2 months ago@stephanie-morris There are two possibilities I think which are hard to tell without having it in hand, most likely I think it’s a natural sandstone with a high iron content, I’ve see them form almost geometric patterns like this many times. The other possibility is that this is sandstone shaped for the facade of a building or something, if…[Read more]

2 months ago2 months ago@joe-domjan In the fossil deposits, it is not unusual to find fish pectoral spines of similar shape, however I am unfamiliar with Jurassic fish so I can’t say if they have similar structures. I have some fish material from Whitby at home, nothing directly comparable. Fish bones are more or less the only type of vertebrate material of which I am…[Read more]

2 months ago2 months ago@joe-domjan it could have been a fossil at some point if so it’s distinguishing features have worn away. Otherwise, its likely a mineral inclusion or a clast. It looks like some of it might continue below a natural cleavage mark, a few gentle taps with a hammer and chisel might reveal more
