Subgeo3 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi, my 8 year old found this on the beach in Galveston Texas today. Just on the surface at the Shell line. Less than 2 inches long by 1 inch wide. Smooth ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi, welcome in that forum. I agree your piece is bony, but we lack some information (size, a more precise location, the geological age if you have it) and pics of all its surfaces. Cheers, Sophie.

fifbrindacier Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 That's a good beginning. Did you find your other item at the same place ?

ynot Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Looks like it could be a cetatean piece, but it is so worn it is hard to be sure. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
