Hello all - this is my first post here. I am posting a possible bone fragment my son and I found while beach combing here in Texas. It is from McFadden Beach near Galveston on the Texas coast after a recent storm. It is about 5 cm in length, 2 cm in with and ranges from 2mm to 5mm in thickness. It feels more like stone than bone - but I am not an expert in this field.

We have been doing a lot of debating on this one. Piece measures approximately 22 cm X 10 cm X 5 cm and none of us have ever seen anything like it before. It looks like an oyster, but not quite; a tooth, but no root; maybe a scute for something really big... On the bottom there are two holes that could be for nerves or a blood supply. The top (at least I assume it's the top) has these raised lines that run the length of it. The bottom is concave. Almost makes you think of a flipper. The wider end kind of looks toothy. Oh, I give up! What do ya'll think? Thanks, Tess
