I don't think this is a fossil. It looks more like a bezoar (intestinal
concretion), probably from a cow.

Dear Taxacomers,

A good friend asked me to identify a fossil for her but I do not have
the slightest idea what it might be. I posted some photographs on
http://www.dochterland.org/fossil.htm Does anyone have suggestions?

Best regards,

Jan
