Pearl Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Found this in a creek near Boligee, Alabama that I frequently find shark teeth, worm tubes, and an occasional arrowhead. Wondering if it’s anything other than an interesting rock. Added more views of this “item” to see what you guys think.

Shellseeker Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Welcome to TFF Pearl, It is a great place for fossil hunters. Lots of kindred spirits It is likely a worn turtle shell section.

Pearl Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Thanks for your responses. Glad to have a place to go for identification. We a have a creek on our property that a couple of local Universities have come to study for years but I just started to “study” for myself. So much fun!

Harry Pristis Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I agree with Shellseeker -- appears to be a portion of a turtle nuchal.
