izak_ Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Can we have some more angles and a size reference? Looks fish-y to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Welcome to TFF! It looks like a fish skull element. What is the size? Can You post pictures of the sides and back?

Miocene_Mason Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well if it smells it's modern, it either stick in in an airtight container if you wanna keep it or through it away. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 There is a lot of sand on the last view. Is this stuck to the bone or can it be washed off? The smell could be from algae from where it was found and will become less prevalent if You let it "air out" for awhile. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

fossiling Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If it smells, it may be modern. If you want to keep modern bones you can use hydrogen peroxide to bleach them white. Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Marcus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It's from a catfish. Flip it over. Do you see the will resemblance of a crucifix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
