Coco Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hi, Probably a cephalic hook of a chimera, ratfish (family of sharks and rays).

Al Dente Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I agree with cephalic hook but it is from a hybodont shark, not a ratfish. Edited September 5, 2021 by Al Dente 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I think that in the passage from English to French I always believed that it came from chimeras ! I will try to retain the information !
