PaleoNoel Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This is the skull plate of a bony fish called a sea robin. These are relatively common finds on the east coast, congrats to your son on a cool fossil discovery! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peat Burns Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This looks like the top of a fish skull. Possibly sea robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a nice specimen. I picked up a few myself this past week. Interestingly, modern ones also wash up on shore. I picked one up the other day that broke in my hand. They haven’t changed much through the millennia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
