Hello, found this last Saturday at a beach in Galveston Island, Texas. Other fossils I’ve found there, are from the late Pleistocene (only around 20,000 years old). They come from the Beaumont Formation.
I know this piece of bone is almost certainly from a fish. Does anyone recognize what bone this is, and from what species?
It has a very weird shape, and something tells me that this is probably from a skull, possibly something similar to a sea robin skull plate.
Measures around 4.75 cm (1.87 inches long)
