I know the end is broken. Have I just got another rock for my yard?

Kinda looks like the end of a petrified bone !

 

[Bbmbr]

Yes it does

 

[Bbmbr]

I guess its not worthy of any comments

It does look like a piece of petrified bone.

 

[The_Piratess]

Indeed it does as it appears to have the bone matrix inside right at the break.

From what I can see from your photos it looks like a natural odd looking rock It does not appear to show any signs of being a fossil bone. It may look like it, but it is just an odd looking rock.

Whatever it's worth to you.

looks like it's pipestone(don't know exactly, part of a larger rock that got cracked and weathered somehow. https://www.bing.com/images/search?...607988356621142445&selectedIndex=1&ajaxhist=0

I could be wrong though, can you scratch it with your fingernail?

You are finding some cool looking stuff! Are they from creek? River? Farm field?

Here's that thread I was talking about in your other "weird" thread.

Scratch and lick I read somewhere if salty it's a bone.

 

[Bbmbr]

No you can't scratch it. Some of these were found invMariposa county california and some in tuolumne county.

Perhaps if you had put some information into the subject title beyond " ? ? ? ".

Not very descriptive. It will also be hard to search on in the future.

Just a thought.

Looks like a rock to me.

 

[Bbmbr]

Itvseems to have like an outer shell , is the best way I can describe it. It looks like it would break away seperately from the inner part.

 

[Bbmbr]

Well this was found today which makes me pretty positive that the one pictured above is a fossil bone. Looks like the same kind of bone

That hard shell is called a cortex, it happens when the outer layer of rock becomes weathered and exposed to the elements, since you can't scratch it, most likely it's not pipestone, it's an igneous rock, feldspar rich (gives it the red) Cali is loaded with igneous stuff, Sierra's etc.
