MrBones Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I found these teeth-like fossils on a beach close to the Sir Bani Yas ferry jetty, they were laying amoung thousands of tiny shells surrounding a pipe. The first fossil looks to me like a tooth, I have found a sawfish rostrum close to this beach before. The next two fossils have weird holes at the back, it looks like worn down crab pincers.

Manticocerasman Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I agree with the worn down crab pincers , but I dont know if they are fossil or recent. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the left does seem more tooth like at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBones Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 I am not sure, but I think the one on the left is a piece of a sawfish's rostrum spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 looks like a worn tooth to me and the two on the right crab claws. Another possibility for the one on the left is the very last hinge part of an oyster with the rest worn completely worn away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
