fifbrindacier Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi, N° 3 looks bony, but ti'm not sure, the photos are a little blurry.

abyssunder Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Maybe the first one is a Catfish spine.

Hmm it does have a similar look, but that wouldn’t be hollow would it? My pics may not show that this piece is. Thank you for the response!

ynot Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 In the new pictures.... first one is a fish fin spine, second maybe a tooth of some sort (badly worn), the rest are to fragmented to be sure.

Thank you for the reply. The bone pictures are all one piece in case you thought they were multiple. And just so I understand properly a fish fin spine would Be hollow and have thin walls? Would it also be bone material? Appreciate the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Pretty sure the hollow one is a crab claw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too, I was sure when I made the post. I was wondering what kind of crab it might have come from because it’s a bit odd compared to the ones I usually find but perhaps it’s not enough to go on. Thank you for the responses!
