I don't see any thing to think that its a fossil... But not much to go on either...Could be a type of coral maybe...

Hmmm OK, thanks Fossilman. It might just be a weirdly eroded rock, reminded me of a hip or shoulder socket or something. Another mystery yard find that I can't quite fathom why it got picked up originally.

Don't know anything about fossils, but looks like a molar to me. Did you soak it in water, or try to carefully remove soft parts?
Curious piece.

No Pat, i haven't cleaned it up yet but tomorrow i'll give it a soft scrub and try to get a better picture. It's an interesting oddity if nothing else.

The shape of this doesn't translate well but here it is lightly cleaned:

Grrr, thought I could delete the thread but just deleted the original post. Anyway it's going in the "miscellaneous lumpy porous rock" pile for now.
