Chris Anderson Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I was picking up a sand tiger shark tooth and this was laying beside it. I'm sure it is a fossil but I have no idea what is. I would appreciate any help identifying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Always include location in the body of the topic!

Shellseeker Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hard to make it out , Chris. We are going to need some really crisp photos. It reminds me of a stingray dermal denticle, which can be 3-4 inches in size. or maybe a mammal toebone, or could be something else.... To id, clear photos taken in sunshine The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas.Dodson Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Much better pictures. Shellseeker was correct, it looks like these are dermal denticles of a ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
