Al Dente Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 That is really unusual. It is not a stingray barb. They are solid in cross section. I would say this is a fin spine from a bony fish but I've never seen one that was almost hollow like this. Hopefully someone else knows what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It reminds me of a shark spine, but I'm not sure if they have that internal structure either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Looks crabby to me or some other crustacean.

caldigger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Lobster antenna would be much rounder and have the bumps/spinal features all around it, not just on one side. Looks more bone like in structure to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiefossils Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Interesting... Maybe some sort of sword fish nose I was thinking? Edited October 24, 2014 by aussiefossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Interesting... Maybe some sort of sword fish nose I was thinking? Swordfish rostra are essentially solid. This must be something else. But I am stumped, too! I'm still leaning more towards boney rather than chitinous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I think your right, I came across boney shark pics that looked very similar but were black in colour, I'd put a link here for you to see that I saved but im a bit blonde when it comes to pasting links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
