fossilmoundfl Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Does anyone know what this is? I found it on a beach along the west coast of Florida. It is about 1 1/2" L x 1" W x 1/2" H ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) A skate loop. It is a large dermal denticle often located at the spine of the skate. Beautiful fossil !

Fin Lover Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I agree with ray dermal denticle. Nice find. 1 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
