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)

Hi all, my grandpa recently gave me this snail shell he brought from a Florida holiday some decades ago (he said he "pulled it out of the ocean"; but that's all details I have on the finding situation). I saw this post by Herb with Florida shells, one of which looks quite similar: For the one in my images I'm wondering whether it is a recent exemplar or a fossil one. In a German fossils forum where I showed the images someone tended to recent because of the slight color remnants. On the other hand, it looks really similar to the fossil busycon contrarium I saw here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busycon_contrarium Any hints regarding recent vs. fossil and more specific ID are highly welcome! The Euro coin for scale is about 0.9 inch in diameter. Many thanks in advance Jan P.S.: Very nice forum you have here!
