PSchleis Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Found on Myrtle Beach, Jan 3, 2020. This tiny round fossil is smooth on the top, perhaps a quarter inch thick, and has an unusual indentation on the bottom. I immediately thought some kind of fish vertebra, but that smoothness at the top stops me. Not sure why a vertebra would have such a smooth side. Thank you!

Al Dente Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It looks like a worn piece of turtle carapace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSchleis Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Interesting! I've only ever found angular turtle pieces. I didn't realize they could be so round. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
