xouley Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hello all! Sorry for the not-so-great photos here. My phone camera is... kind of a fossil. I found this mystery fossil on the beach in North Carolina, USA, somewhere near Emerald Isle if I'm recalling correctly. My best guess is that it's a periotic bone from a dolphin, porpoise, or something of the like, but it doesn't totally match up with images I've seen. I've also considered that it could be a ballast bone, but again, hard to confirm via Google search. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Looks like a phosphatic rock. Not unusual for eastern NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xouley Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 You may be right! Still a cool-looking object. I guess those must be clam bore holes, if it's a rock. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
