Cbo111 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 We found this in the surf at Casey Key today. About 3" long and very heavy. Any ideas what it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well it's not a tooth as it doesn't have enamel. I'm sure others will agree. It it might be bone. Can we have a photo of the ends? John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbo111 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Dugong rib was my wife's guess. Any idea as to how I can verify?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWGeoFan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 As @JohnBrewer said could you send photos of the ends? "I am going to dig up dinosaurs whether they are liquid or solid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbo111 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Here are the end shots with quarter for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWGeoFan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Could you take another photo in better lighting? Also dont worry about getting so close, just make sure the end is in focus.

Vieira Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Not a tooth. It looks like a worn rib from a dugong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
