Gabe S. Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I found this piece while looking through some matrix from aurora N.C. It appears to be scales of some sort. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Not really my wheelhouse, but could it be part of a burrfish or ray plate? (Others will have to weigh in on this.) Jay A.

They either have small separate teeth that grow like shark teeth or plates made from broad flat comb teeth. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
