Hello everyone!

 

Yesterday I went hunting at Folly in South Carolina, and as per expected I found several bull shark and sand tiger shark teeth, as well as pieces of bone. However, I found something I wasn't sure of as far as identification, kind of resembling a small fish skull that I have. But I'm not sure. 

 

Thanks to all who are helping identify this fossil. 

 

I will also be commenting with additional photos.

I would agree with it being a Sea Robin Skull. Here's a similar one that I found.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the help. I didn't know the skull plates could look like that before now. I was thinking of the few that I have that are more pentagonal and flat. Different parts of the skull, I guess. Thanks again. :)
