Fossilized Bone Fragments
Unknown age, possible Miocene/Pliocene (23 million to 2.6 million years ago)
Origin: North America, United States, Florida
Unknown Classification

A collection of Fossilized Bone Float, includes a claw end.

In the era of dinosaurs the region of Florida was submerged under water and did not exist as a landmass. I do not believe this is dinosaur bone; but could be remains of an ice age animal; perhaps a giant ground sloth.

Floats predominantly found in sedimentary rock formations formed during the Miocene/Pliocene epochs . From images it is possible to see these are bone fragments as they have a unique, porous (sponge-like) trabecular bone interior and a smooth outer layer. The coloration is deep red and brown hues, indicating iron-rich burial environments where minerals like hematite or iron oxide seeped into the porous bone structure during fossilization. These vibrant colors reveal the specific local geochemistry of the sediment rather than the original color of the animal.

Fossilized bone fragment is often used in jewelry crafting and if you were to sell these pieces; I suggest you look at regional art markets or geology clubs for interested buyers.

Hi, Eric,
I am having difficulty identifying the submission from these images. If possible, please take pictures of the examples in outdoor light. I am also unable to tell if these are possible fossils in a matrix or separated from the stone where they were discovered.

I am not certain, but it is possible that this is not a fossil but is possibly Chalcedony. It is an aggregate of cryptocrystalline or microcrystalline silica.

Thank you,
Amber
