Darktooth Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Looks like a shard of bone. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 @WhodamanHD May be able to help with that. He hunts that area. They may need a shot from the wide end. I have no clues what it is. I am dearly hoping to hunt the area next weekend since I’ll be in the area for a conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Hunter02 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Can you flip in onto the other side please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I have also hunted there many times and collected many fossils over the years. But a couple pics with better lighting may help. The more I look at it it is possible that it may be half of a croc tooth. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I took the liberty of brightening and cropping the pictures.

Miocene_Mason Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I agree sea robin skull bit, or some other fish’s skull element. “...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...
Miocene_Mason Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 This looks fossilized and land mammals are rare because it’s marine deposits “...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...
Al Dente Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think it is an eroded piece of a fish fin spine similar to the lower part of this fossil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
