ynot Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Looks like a fragment of a large bone, I doubt anything further can be said. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Fossildude19 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 We refer to these sometimes as "Chunkosaurs". Large fragment, though.

EMP Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wrightsville Beach?! No idea there were fossils on the beach! I have found Eocene stuff around Mayfaire and Wilmington but not the beach area like that! Do you have any others? Hard to tell what animal, but if I had to make a guess I'd go with a whale piece.

LordTrilobite Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 At most you could possibly say it might be a piece of a limb from a large animal. As it seems fairly straight and featureless. And judging from the curve on the bone, if it's a limb, it'll be fairly big. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have others items. It's pretty crazy what you can find at low tide. Here is a link to an earlier post of mine. I still can't believe what I found!!!

EMP Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wow, I've never found anything quite that good. In that case this is likely to be Pliocene, going off of the sharks teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
