But the “flow” lines looked puzzling until I remembered my experience with finding fossilized fruits on the Queen Charlotte Islands in BC. Canada I think it is a fossilized fruit of some sort. Spinifructus antiquus take a look here: sort of like a fig http://www.plantworlds.com/images/800px-Spinifructus_antiquus_fruits_01[1].jpg " Dear Larry and Paul, It does look like the internal mold of some sort of fossil fruit. It is certainly does not look like a volcanic bomb. It would be helpful in evaluating it if some sort of context, i.e. general location to at least the county or nearest city / town, about where it was found, of this find could be provided. I would suggest that you join the “Fossil Forum” at http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php? After you have joined, you can get the opinion of the fossil collectors on this forum. They would likely know what this specimen and its possible scientific significance might be. If this is a fossil fruit, which are quite rare, it might be of some scientific interest For any fossil collectors on this list, The Fossil Forum an excellent forum to meet and learn from other amateur and professional fossil collectors. Meteorite collectors will find that fossil collectors have the same concerns about government regulations and laws that they do.
