Jo-and-Ho Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Found this fossil on Amelia Island, Florida. Can some help identify? We are new to fossil hunting but I’m thinking the edge of a turtle shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Neat coloration! The shape and the alternating glossy bands/ridges look more like a fragment of a very worn porcupine fish tooth plate to me... Have fun collecting more! A couple of pictures for comparative purposes... Regards, Chris Edited June 23, 2022 by Plantguy removed extra pic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be an example photo appropriate to attaching to a fossil ID requests for small fossils The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
