Mtskinner Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm having a hard time with this one! It was found in the bluff town formation located in South Alabama. My theories have ranged from a simple geo-fact to fish scales so I'm hoping someone can help shine some light my way and know what it is! Its roughly 1-1/2" long and an 1/2" thick and the pattern follows the entire perimeter around the piece. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Terence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Possible cartilage. Maybe google image search shark cartilage. 3 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Cartilage was my first thought as well.

Plax Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 am agreeing with "shark" cartilage. What would an Ischyrhiza rostrum look like? Am thinking this fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
