chrisski Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 What makes you think those are fossilized? With coral, it will bleach in the sun to look a lot like your pics depending on the variety, but will be a very light sample. For perterification, the original gets replaced with other minerals and will make this heavier. I find bone is really light also. I lived on a tropical island for 14 years, and there was plenty of corral that would look fresh decades later, with the exception of bleaching in the sun. I don’t have much experience with bone. My GUESS, is all those samples are bone with the bubbles being marrow. If it was petrified, I would expect the minerals would have filled up those holes.

4meter Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 None of these are fossils. They are are all recent (modern) material. The first pic is a modern coral fragment, the rest is bone of a mammal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
