<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Generally speaking, the (outer)
skeleton of invertebrates is rather hard (like shell, limestone)
and bone lighter, softer. When you test them with a nail, you feel
the the first will bite the nail, an that second will be rather
bited, stripped by the nail. The firs sounds "clear, heigh" on a
glass table, and the second "dim, low" (a difference you get
between heigh and low heated/cooked ceramic). Have you any
impression of that kind ?<br>
<br>
AND<br>
I come back to the first three pictures. At a first glimpse, I had
the impression that the "hole/central channel" had been drilled -
but no : on views 1 and 2, I see as a wall, a sort of lining, more
or less as outside (view 3). I have to consider a naturaly holowed
cylinder, a tube or a muff deposited on a (desapeared/decayed) rod
- but the lines of picture 2 dont agree... Has the object been
scraped (nowadays) on the left part (fig. 2) so as the lines are
more clear ? Was it easy to scrape...? ( go back to the
beginning).<br>
<br>
It lets me remember of fish hyperostosis, of the filling of
swordfish rostrum/bill... <br>
Maybe a big part of lamellary fish bone growing and taking in an
artery (or some other "ductus")...<br>
<br>
[as far as I know, there is no pipe-like penis bone...]<br>
<br>
Is the outer surface the same all around the thing ? Would you
say that the outer is carved/cut by man ?<br>

<p>Dear François and Paul,<br>
<br>
The site is close to the Atlantic ocean, more or less 3km
currently. And during the UP it wouldn't be very far from the
ocean either.<br>
Thank you for the images you sent Paul.<br>
<br>
best<br>
Marina<br>
