dodo4 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Please help me to ID the fossils below. There are two different kinds. To me, they both look like some kind of a vertebra. I find most of my fossils walking the beaches near South Ponte Vedra, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think they are most likely steinkerns. The natural cast of the inside of a shell. Can't say that I recognize them myself though. After seeing your other post I realize this is probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 They are fish skull parts. The fossils on the top row are informally called "Bonito noses" and the bottom row are the frontal bones from some type of Porgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowboater Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Odd, I have found a fair amount of the top ones (bonito noses; and puzzled over what they could be, until IDed on this site). Have never noticed one like the bottom (or missed entirely?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
