Rypick Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 My son found this in the Mississippi River in St. Paul, MN. I thought maybe it was a scapula, but I really have no idea. Anyone out there know what it is? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbi Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Fish bone. More specifically, an operculum. I don't know what species of fish but it looks modern to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypick Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yeah, I don't think it's a fossil, but still thought you guys might be able to ID it. Thanks a lot! That's interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Probably sturgeon judging by the size. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
