Dianne19610 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Than you in advance. My child picked this up on Pensacola Beach thinking it was a seashell. I just found it while washing off the bucket. Looks like a fossil of something to us but not sure. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 It looks like a beak of a bivalve that has been drilled by sponges (the small round holes). A local might be able to ID the shell fragment. 1 1 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

debivort Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 yeah, looks like a phosphate-stained modern oyster hinge to me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I suppose it's an oyster fragment, agreeing with the others. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
