PETRIFIED FINGER/TOE?

[keezer29]

I found this in a creek and thought I could make a story up to my kids about some indian who lost his finger fighting a grizzly bear, but now I think it might be real. What do you think?

Some professional persons I've contacted say it isn't possible for flesh to petrify and these items are just rocks with interesting features. Its to bad they aren't interested to see the items in person or see the arrow point and bone, teeth and other items I also found. My interest is for discovery of a possible very old area and may rewrite a section of history. It seems that professional interest ends with written history rather than writing a new chapter.

Yup,just as a Trex was found that still had soft tissue attached to fossilized bone.

One line of thought is that flesh can petrify in a few hundred years in the right conditions ( maybe) and another line of thought is that for something to petrify may take at the least 10,000 to 12,000 years or more ( most likely ). I havefound petrified digits of three different substances, one of chert or flint like stone, one of chalky substance, and one of quartz. The quartz one is very interesting with a small deposit of red substance locked in the quartz.

The conditions to pertify meat before it rots just don't exist on earth. Bone pertifies, wood petrifies, flesh and soft tissue may leave gaps in the soil that eventually mineralize and create a trace fossil but flesh does not petrify.

Maybe it broke off the Cardiff Giant?

I'll bet it's a barnacle. Possibly fossilized.

"The fossilized human finger"

I've read of a few. Probably the wrong forum, but research the fossilized human finger. It's authentic, proven through X-rays.

Whatever it is, there are more.................. https://www.google.com/search?q=pet...KbyATM1IGABw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=640

Research has debunked that particular example as geological - except for the Creation Evidence Museum; which exists outside research or science.

The fossil remains that do come up in the search are just the ossified or petrified phalanges and not the soft tissue or nails.

Fossil fingers look like this:

There's always a first.

Why does no one believe me ?
It's a Barnacle or something very similar. Fossilized, probably.

This reminds me of the guy that detected some gold teeth... ...with the jaw still attached.

You can find them in any cemetery, but you have to detect at night

As a side note, I really hate the guy that invented porcelain caps

Most people dont have time to search your lead but I did and I think you may have something here. Very cool possibility for an ID and explanation for petrified fingers/thumbs found lol. Great work sutphin.

 

[goldnrelics]

that's a hell of a find!! toe or not, very cool. it definitely beats my slagged tooth with chewed lead in it


at least there wasn't a finger condom on it

 

[Breezie]

Adding the feminine touch, I'd have to put a little polish on it.

Interesting find
