Kaldridge Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I often find these items south of calvert cliffs, but not grouped together. Could they be sea urchin spines or is it some sort of plant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bones Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I have never hunted there, but these have the look of bones to me. I hope someone who knows the area and it's finds will be able to help. Edited June 20, 2021 by old bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It's the kind of concretion that usually has crab material but it does look fishy to me. Not sure of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason that one picture look like molar teeth used to crush mollusks and crab shells. But that's just my opinion as I'm a rookie at fish fossils anyway.
