Teddifer Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Found this on the beach on the south Pacific side of Costa Rica. Scale shown in inches. Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 A suggestively eroded piece of limestone, I think. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 As the Turtle Papa said, I believe it is a suggestively shaped rock... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 There is no enamel, and no bone texture to what would be the root in a real tooth. This leads us to the conclusion it is a suggestively shaped rock. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilDAWG Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'm afraid I have to agree with "not a fossil". Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hello, Teddifer and welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. I'm not sure that we have many members from Costa Rica on the forum, so that makes you a unique resource. You've come to exactly the right place to bring such questions as above and seek IDs. I agree with the above comments that this seems to be a suggestively shaped rock as opposed to a fossil. However, although I know virtually nothing of the Costa Rica coast, I can't help but believe that there are fossils to be found there. Continue to search and bring us your questions. We welcome and thrive on such offerings to the forum. And, after all, you lie on the continental coastline just off the island where Jurassic Park was founded. So you just might find some non-fossil Dino material washing up on the shore. And that's all I know about that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
