Thank you! It is not a bone. It is a partial LUNG FISH FOSSIL tooth plate.

but this should have never been split. Fossil should be kept as they were found.
I am going to tell the seller what it was.

Fragments of opalized dinosaur bone
The seller did not recognize what he was selling and split it into 4 pieces.

Re: Australian opal with unusual flow lines
Cute wave. I can't count the stones I've set aside when a good picture appeared. Wouldn't be top dollar in a oval for a ring, so they are worth so much more as specimens.

I keep all my opals as specimens. I like them the way they are.
