I hope everyone is having a great summer. I was walking on the beach the other day and for the first time I found a piece of bone. I have been walking this beach for the past 5 years and have never found a piece of bone. It is 3 inches long and at its widest point it is one inch. Hopefully it is IDable. I have no knowledge of bone material at all so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I also happened to find a shark tooth. I believe it is a lower Carcharhinus plumbeus (Sandbar Shark) 13mm. It is a great color and is serrated. Also the root and blade is thin/flat. That is one of the reasons I believe it is Sandbar Shark. If someone can confirm my ID it would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy the pics.

From the album: Galveston Fossils
Found 3 teeth this weekend trip. Galveston shark teeth are very hard to find (for me). These were all found on the main island (not Bolivar). The top two I believe are the sandbar shark (C. plumbeus) and the lower one is a tiger shark (G. cuvier).-
