Fossil Bone CA
by: Douglas

Tracy, you can definitely see the cell structure on the end shots. So yeah, some kind of bone. The next step is to find the age of the rocks where your fossil was found.

I tried looking at that area on a geologic map to find the age of the rocks but there are too many choices and I don't know exactly where your specimen was found. You might look at a geology map and see if you can identify the age of the rocks in the place of your find.
