Calvert Cliffs Bone fragment

Recommended Posts

Here's another find from my recent trip to Calvert Cliffs. It almost looks like a piece of a jaw with missing teeth, but that's just a guess. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Side note: It's really annoying that I have to sacrifice the quality of my photos due to the restriction on upload file size. I can provide additional photos in high resolution if needed.

Thanks again everyone.

Appears to be a fragment of a seal jaw.

Wonderful fossil :wub:

To keep a higher resolution for upload, crop the photo and only keep the fossil and the bars on the rule and tell us the scale.

Not familiar with material from the area but I get a fish vibe so most likely is seal.

More photos would help but I doubt that it is from a seal - it strikes me as being fishy as well, no pun intended.
