Zenmaster6 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Bonus if you know this tooth! Though more likely than not. The tooth is the easiest to identify. Awaiting Identification. I love this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Trilo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Very cool fossils not sure what any are though. If number 1 is an eye stock that would be really cool and number 3 looks like a frog arm but that's obviously not what it is. “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish is a possibility .. fish facial bones are not exactly my forte but we get them often enough on the forum. #3 looks like part of a crab/crustacean claw/appendage. Cheers, Brett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Brett Yes, I found plenty of catfish spines so I imagine its that. The crab thing has little nodules all over it like a trilobite eye. Zoom in!

Yes .. they can have all kinds of ornamentation ..... and reveal interesting patterns having worn mostly away by the surf.

ClearLake Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Is #3 hollow all the way through? It has a man-made look to me. I’m not that familiar with crab eye stalks, but I think that would be a pretty big crab to have that eye. Curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than an inch long and smaller than a pencil thick. Also I have found Pre Columbian Obsidian flakes here with bulbs of percussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
