Al8472 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi there, I'm not really involved in fossil hunting but my daughter and I found this on a beach in the uk and wondered if you could tell us what it was? It's about 2 inches across and 3/4 inch wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetradium Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 You need to show all parts. I'm indecisive between tooth or chuck of basalt. You only showed the top part. What about the bottom part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not a tooth, as there is no enamel visible. Looks like a chunk of bone to me, but I am not really a bone guy. @Al8472 Please take pictures from all sides, to aid us in identifying this item.

Rockwood Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 It does look like bone. A super stout metacarpal/tarsal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
