TooLiter Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Found this fossil on the shoe of the Neuse River in New Bern, NC. Have found several fossils and sharks teeth in the area over the years but never one like this. Looks like a claw of some sort? Fine serrations along the inside.

Just found a post right as you replied. Right pectoral fin from a blue catfish. Nothing fancy but still a pretty cool find. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
