Carl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm not entirely convinced it's a lungfish tooth plate. Can you provide larger images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'd vote for a fish skull element or scale of some type. Neat find, Chris. Bigger pics, may help narrow it down.

Carl Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Jeez... I'm stumped. I still doubt lungfish, but I would buy fish tooth, maybe chondrichthyan. But maybe even crustacean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
