Strange bone

Recommended Posts

Found this odd looking bone in Big Brook today.

Any ideas? I did a burn test and it will not burn and doesn’t stick to my tongue :(

size is 1.5” x 1.25”

thanks.

Hi,

 

Probably a cephalic hook of a chimera, ratfish (family of sharks and rays).

I agree with cephalic hook but it is from a hybodont shark, not a ratfish.

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 ! Thanks @Al Dente

I enjoyed that piece as well at the Museum of Natural History in NYC
