wildchild33 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 This looks tooth shaped but has a pattern like reptile skin or alligator. The one pic I am pointing to end that is broken off and where you can see it's bone. The pattern is different on each side. Best image I can get though blurry where details can be made out. I give up what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I agree. Pictures are blurry. What cross my mind is the idea of a " crocodile skin " concretion. Try to compare with those from this older post on TFF: " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

wildchild33 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Took a look at all those and this is different, it is smooth and glossy like a dogs nail. Will try to get better image later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 does your camera have auto focus? Also take the picture from 12 inches or so away and make sure it is in focus. Then the image can be cropped. Even the basic program on any computer can do that. Another thing that helps in getting an accurate ID is some type of locality and geologic information. The age of the fossil deposit makes a big deal in what it may be.

Herb Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 maybe a broken well worn sharks tooth? Where was it found?
