abyssunder Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It looks like a fish neurocranium, at least to me.

Closer, clearer pictures would help with the ID. Thanks . Excited to be a part of this. Sorry I put location in the tags I guess I need to put in the post too. Found 2 of these in Savannah Ga near river on the beach of dredged spoils where they dredged the Savannah River to make it deeper for barges to go in and out of the port. I’ll see if I can get better pics. I found a lot of things I can’t seem to identify and have searched countless hours . Just started added to the forum asking for help.

Thanks for posting more pictures. The second one is the quality we need. It is an unusual but interesting find. I saw a Searobin skull element that looks similar to yours.

Harry Pristis Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I get the impression of fish fused frontals , , , "fish nose" in the vernacular. Which fish, I don't know. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you move or shake the focus won't lock in. A tripod will help with this.
