Shell or bone? homdel NJ


SarahtheIchthyornis

Recommended Posts

(distance between the two blue lines is one cm, photos taken under a dissecting microscope)

Found this strange object in a creek in NJ, it is translucent, very smooth, and curved.

My first guess for this object was  a fossil bone fragment, but this may come from the shell of an invertebrate instead, (which would be more likely at this site)

Does anyone have opinions on the object?

thanks in advance!

Looks like a broken Picnodont tooth (fish).
