copper would turn surface green due to condensation so don’t think it’s copper possible mineralized dino bone seeing some sighs of cell pockets in the red areas cool specimen

Jasper Maybe ?

very well could be mineralized dino bone I have specimens that look the same with the nodules and color I thought alot of it was jasper but then I found some that a thought was jasper but on other side had bone structure also corprolite dino dung has same nodule patterns I like the deep reds and hues of color

Florida’s Fossils from the myFOSSIL app 1 month ago1 month ago1 month agoI only started hounding and prepping 4 months ago. I’m learning as I go. This was the very first cut I made on a specimen I suspected to be AGATIZED coral. I became hooked ever since! I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to obtain a mirror polish! Getting better at this. #fossil
