I vote no, because in my experience bone would rarely or never have the vacuoles continue straight into the bone. This growth form is more likely a marine organism (coral) or primitive plant (celery and palms have straight tubules and are closely packed like this. Tom

Thanks. I did have some coral identified previously. It looked a lot different than this. Just learning what to look for here when trying to identify finds.

And coral has many different structures. You may find other forms near this find.

Yep, in the last 2 years I've found at least five different flavors of coral. I'm not sure why, but I cherish each one!

Yes, in the field, partially sticking out of the surface. About 4" by 6" by 2". fu0nd another of the same type in the same 10 acre field.
