      Very interesting Tom! I hope you get an answer! You can touch your tongue to it and if it’s slightly sticky, it’s bone. Good luck😊

    Hi I found this in Northern France and i know that this is a bone but can you tell me if this is fossil or not, Thanks #fossil

      Is it “heavy”? If you tap on it with a piece of metal is it more high pitch and a little reverb/ting sounding (like a rock) or more muffled or flat (like plastic or wood)? Heavy and tingy point toward fossil, light and flat sounding is more likely bone.

      Might be partially fossilized too. The edge looks a little polished in a way I wouldn’t expect a bone to do, but it’s hard to tell in pictures.

      Kinda looks like a vertebrae bone or a leg bone but yes it looks fossilized

    If this is from Florida it’s probably an alligator tooth because the mosasaur is from North Africa and Northern America
