Recommended Posts

Below are a few beach finds from my trip to Topsail Island in North Carolina. You should be able to click on the photos and zoom in for detail. If better quality photos are needed, please let me know. Any help with identification is appreciated. Thanks!

1. Some type of tooth?

These look like well-worn rocks shaped like fossils, although the second one reminds me of a stingray mouthplate :).

Sorry, numbers 1,3 and 4 are pieces of rock or shell, well worn. Probably from the recent beach re-nourishment there. (dredged from offshore) Number 2 is a very broken and very well worn ray crusher plate. Also probably from the same dredging.

Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

For only having 5 posts under your name I have to say you have a good eye for finding things! You posted a small turtle shell piece before too. Keep looking and maybe there are fossils not far from where you live that you can learn about and find as well? :)
