My finds from the other day on the beach at northern Amelia Island.
WildCard posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’m trying to get better at identification so I labeled the pieces with what I think they are but some I can’t figure out. I would love some guidance if anyone has any input! Thanks Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Florida USA- 3 replies

Hey everyone - I found a curious fossil on Atlantic Beach, NC the other day - very clearly a bone of some type, but I was unsure what type it may be. We don't find many fossils on this beach so I was particularly puzzled. I decided to lean on some local expert knowledge, so I went over to Bonehenge Whale Center in Beaufort to get their opinion. They said, while not experts in fossils, that they're immediate guess was a fragment of an ocular bone in a pilot whale or dolphin. Seems to be a possibilty (see the dolphin skull photos attached), but he reiterated that he was unsure. So, I'd love to see if anyone here had another opinion? Or if you agree that it is an ocular fragment, what type of whale/dolphin it may have come from and possibly a date range? I know there's not too much to work with, but any guesses are much appreciated! Thank you so much!

We are on vacation at Atlantic beach NC. My wife and l went shell collecting and I just happened to find these. I recognize the ray mouth plate but I'm drawing a blank on the other, dolphin or fish?
