inchesandmiles Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 This weekend we were at the beach looking for shells and I came across this tooth? Any help with ID? I can't find anything similar in the Florida Fossil Guides, and searching for Tooth ID in florida mainly comes up with Shark Teeth... Location: Volusia County, Florida - Atlantic Coast Beach Scale is in Centimeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi, This isn't a tooth actually. Not entirely sure what it is but it's most likely some kind of coral. Kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 It looks like an eroded barnacle plate, possible a whale barnacle- Coronula. https://www.google.com/search?q=Coronula+complanata&sxsrf=ALiCzsbHVRUGeswZ_IZLdO6pFBnik4UtrA:1669668752234&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwji-_nm4NH7AhWyk2oFHd73CHUQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1303&bih=640&dpr=1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inchesandmiles Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 @Al Dente I think you are right. Some type of Barnacle from the comparison pictures. I did find some other intact Barnacles around the same area, though the outer texture was quite a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
