Unauthenticated Fossil Unknown origin Unknown age The general shape and appearance of animal cranium fossil, of an unknown period or species. Appears to have a limestone matrix. However; this can also occur in geologic concretions or chert nodules found in limestone deposits. More specific information as to its collection information, exactly where it was found, and in what surrounding matrix will assist in identifying age and if the specimen is geologic or biologic in development. Approximately 6 in. x 5 in in size. If an in-person evaluation does confirm that this item does have fossil content; and dependent on the age of the specimen and animal identified- a higher valuation could reach $300.00 or greater. Thank you for the additional images. I will have a valuation for you after researching other items in databases that I believe could be comparable. I also suggest that, when you have time, you take your item to a regional natural science museum or university department. They will be able to tell you, absolutely, if the item is an animal fossil or a different mineral composition. Your local library may also be able to connect you with resources; sometimes these organizations will host specialist days for in-person assessment. Years ago, I went to a taping of PBS's "Antique Roadshow" it was so much fun and very interesting!Dear Greg, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better images. The four you have provided are a bit blurry when magnified. A few images in a well lit room with daylight, with no direct overhead lighting will be helpful in seeing what you have written in the description section. It is difficult to read the measuring ruler as well. Weight will also be appreciated. Thanks, Amber
