Kane Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 To my eye, all look to be typical modern marine debris. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 If I had to bet, it would definitely be on the fact that they are. Bio-eroded, oysters (bivalves) seem to litter the planet however. I'm not sure one can make the determination from looks alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Few of them (fossil oysters) on the MD beaches for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I agree with bivalve/oyster bits, although the last one appears to be a gastropod. They aren't necessarily fossils, though.

Looks more like a modern gastropod like Nerita that lost part of the outer layer of it’s shell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have a good enough photo to make the call either way for certain. And stubborn is me, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
