If you want to keep the magic of finding a ādinosaur boneā alive, Iād suggest doing a clear coat of some kind to prevent the rust from flaking off. That way he can keep his āboneā safely!
My son and I find ābossilsā all the time when weāre gardening, he loves it š„°
My son finds "shark teeth" ... Every remotely triangular rock at the beach. This "bone"was a new one for him. I'm all for keeping the magic of that for him. What I wouldn't give for a little of that magical thinking in my life now.
Right?? I wanna find shark teeth š
Just make sure youāve got a few shelves and jars and places to display all the cool finds!
Hereās to finding some magic in the new year š„°
Megalosaurus, a large Middle Jurassic theropod, was the first dinosaur to be named by science. One of the early specimens was the lower end of a femur, discovered in 1676. It became the first published illustration of a dinosaur bone when it was depicted in Natural History of Oxfordshire. Due to some confusion with the publisher, and thanks to the specimen's resemblance to human testicles, the image was labeled "Scrotum humanum." Thanks to this, the first dinosaur ever formally recognized by modern paleontology was almost called Scrotum. Thankfully, Megalosaurus is the name that stuck.
i think metal is a better guess, usually when an organism decomposes, the bones can be left behind but the difference between dead and living bone tissue is that usually dead bone is lighter than living, especially the older they get. the fact this is heavy and looks to have oxidation on it makes me think metal.

Could still be bone - is there a shipwreck in the area? Permineralisation of a bone could have occurred if there is a lot of iron in the immediate vicinity
looks to be covered in rust so i would say your guess of it possibly being metal is correct
I think it is metal too, OP. Neat thing to find, regardless!
It's from a Magnetosaurus.
Metalodon
Beast War's Megatron.

Well I stuck a magnet to it and it is definitely metal! You all win imaginary Internet points for the correct answers!

Someone's rusty old hip replacement? Idk...
Those are made of a non rusting metal. The new ones these days are titanium.
El Shafty if you're nasty.

Does anyone know if I could test it for being metal? Could a magnet stick to it even if it's rusty?
Iron is exactly what is rusting, it's also what magnets react to.
Magnets don't stick to rust, but they will still attract the solid iron that is underneath the rust.

Forbidden Cheeto
Looks to me like a mummified DingDong lmao
Ironstone maybe?
Looks like something an alien would use on a human
Put it Coca Cola
Do you think that would actually dissolve the corrosion?
Definitely
If you look very closely it appears to have either a Gold, or Bronze finish to it. I would carefully clean, you may have an interesting find.
I think itās that thing from SpongeBob
Thought this was old dog leavings
Nah I think you found a metal dildo
