FossilhuntLT Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 This was found in North Carolina, Castle Hayne section 3/4 strata. A fellow club member ventured it was a calamites, I was told those were extinct by the eocene so maybe an equisetum? What is it? The collage is stages of simple prep.

FossilDAWG Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think it is a piece of a rostrum of a Cylindricanthus, a type of billfish. Don 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
