Calamites?

I'm not familiar with the area it was found, so it could be another horsetail apart from calamites, but it is most likely some kind of horsetail if that is what you meant?

Doesn't look right to me. Of course I'm not familiar with the preservation there either. It could be just distorted.

If it is a calemites, its a mighty small piece of one.  What age, and what other types of fossils are in the same layers?

I've noticed most of your finds are Cretaceous, could this piece be as well? In that case a hybodontid dorsal spine would be my guess...

Where was it found? Was it found in a karst region, in a cave or embedded in sediments?
