Tumblr thread, one user says that archeologists identify human remains by taste. A second user points out that this is not true, bone is identified as not a normal rock by touching it to your tongue and seeing if it sticks. If it does then bone.

Third user shares a poem they wrote: mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

4th user is an archeologist and is crying laughing with a bunch of other archeologists and they’re going to have shirts made with the poem.

    You can also tell a claystone from a siltstone by rubbing it against your teeth! If it rubs smoothly without friction then it’s a claystone. If it feels abrasive then it’s a siltstone.
