Fossildude19 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Looks like a fish spine, to me. Wait for a few more opinions, though.

Al Dente Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Pectoral fin spine from a fish. Most likely a catfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I just looked them up right before seeing this post. We have a winner! I'd rather that than the bird, to be honest!

Ash Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Never noticed, but looked at it in better light and it has little barb/serrations along the edge. Thanks so much, guys! Catfish Spines. I'd say we have a winner. I wonder if its from the Tandanus species which still inhabit the river beside this...

abyssunder Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yours has serrations on both sides (dorsal-ventral), but that doesn't mean it couldn't be catfish pectoral spine. Take a look here .
