Hipockets Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hey All, My son picked this up out of the muddy banks of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, NC. Has a bone look to it, not sure if it is, let a lone a fossil ? There is a tiny hitchhiker attached to it that I thought was a shell but it also is an oddity to me. Can anyone identify either of these ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar one in the form of a Nj fossil. 1 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once an oyster larvae attaches itself to a surface it is known as spat. 2 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
