Coco Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi, I think it could be a fish scale. Age ?

Troodon Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Garfish scale? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 6 minutes ago, Troodon said: Garfish scale? The shape is right, but there are too many of the shapes. They are almost fractals. Wouldn't that be a bad indication for it being a fossil ? Or are you thinking something diagenetic with one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be a bad indication for it being a fossil ? Or are you thinking something diagenetic with one ? Just based on the shape but you're correct to many of them.

Al Dente Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I agree with the others that it is a fish scale. Some of the enamel has chipped off. Could be gar but can also be from a pycnodont. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I can see the general resemblance with a garfish scale, but your images are not revealing the details. Can you post images with a higher resolution?
