Juliar Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi, I'm very new to this and have had a couple of trips to Aust cliff uk recently. I hadn't really found much but today I found this tooth/bone? I have tried a little of my own research and have hit a dead end. I think it may be ichthysaur but I'm not sure if it's a bone or a rather long thin tooth. It appears to be hollow.Could anyone help me with an I.D please? Many thanks 20210921_213640.heic 20210921_213649.heic 20210921_214010.heic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggycardon Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Looks more like a shark spine to me.

Juliar Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thank you, that probably explains why I couldn't find anything! 20210921_213640.heic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi there, and welcome to TFF! As you've already discovered we've got some very knowledgable members here, as well as a wealth of information to search through, so you've definitely come to the right place I've converted the remainder of your photographs for future reference, as, indeed, only images in web-formats (JPeG, PNG) are supported on the forum. I agree with Ken, though: this is not an ichthyosaur tooth, but a hybodont shark fin spine. 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
