Darktooth Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I agree with @Fossildude19. And that is the most complete one that I have seen. Nice find. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It’s a nice ratfish mandibular plate. “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...
The Jersey Devil Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 @Familyroadtrip Is that a plesiosaur vert in the background? I’d love to see some more pics if it is. “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...

PrehistoricWonders Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 @The Jersey Devil I’m pretty sure it’s just a bone fragment from Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I agree with everyone else that you have a Ratfish (Ischyodus bifurcatus) plate; nice find! That is a pretty decent condition / sized one too! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
