Plaidpanda Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hello! I found this on the beach in Corolla North Carolina. The color and texture look a lot like fossilized sharks teeth I’ve found in the past, so I’m hoping it’s some sort of fossil and not just a bit of shell. It’s a little under 1/2inch long. I hope these pictures are clear enough, thank you for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It's a burrfish mouth plate (family Diodontidae, genus may be Chilomycterus). These are common finds on east coast marine deposits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
