Good morning, second post today! I found this bone in the Neuse River in Craven County/ Eastern NC. The shape of the bone is throwing me off on my google search. Can anyone identify the bone? Apps size is 3.5 inches by 3 inches. Thank you

Good morning, I am requesting help with ID on a bone I found in the Neuse River in Craven County in eastern NC NC. I have searched google but not able to find a bone of this shape. It measures 2 inches by 2.5 inches. What throws me is the twist in the bone, probably a result of excessive wearing in the River. Thank you

Hi all, the other day I went out hunting found some really cool stuff, which I'll post soon, but I find these 3 interesting teeth which I think are posterior megs, though I think one (smallest) is more likely than the other two. They were found in Havelock NC.

Olsson & Petit (1964) described Trigonostoma carolinense as very similar to the modern Trigonostoma tererum however differing in being a much heavier shell and larger than the extant species. The ornamentation is quite different from T. elizbethae (LINK) as T. carolinese has 4-5 cords none which are as heavy as the two cords in T. elizbethae. I have seen this shell described in various publications as T. tenerum and T. tenerum carolinense. I have chosen the designation in O&P due to my respect of their work. Of note is that I have classified T. carolinense in only Upper Pliocene deposits; Tamiami, Duplin and Yorktown. I have designated similar shells in the Pleistocene (Bermont and Caloosahatchee) as T. tenerum. Reference Olsson, A.A., and R.E. Petit. 1964.
