artandmind Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Found in grandpa's attic in a box with a bunch of rocks. I thought it was pretty for a tooth or claw? Any ideas what this could really be? Thanks guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmaier Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Looks like two brachs... two disarticulated shells sitting on top of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
