Max-fossils Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hello! Looking through all my fossils, I found this thing at some point. It was in a small bottle with Ray teeth from Balegem (BE), a fossil location containing fossils (sharkteeth, ray teeth, fish teeth, and other marine material) from the Eocene (25-35mya). I'm pretty sure that this thing is not a ray tooth though. Any clue what it could be? Photo 1: front Photo 2: back Photo 3: closeup front Thanks in advance for the help!

Harry Pristis Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Maybe a well-worn, pharyngeal grinding plate from a fish. Just a guess. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I think that could be Entobia on a shell remain.

Thanks, I think that this is it! Balegem is a location known for its fish/ray/shark teeth remains. Thanks for the ID! Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

But I don't think you are right; the fossil's structure does not feel at all like a shell... Thanks and best regards, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
