MrBones Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I found a sawfish rostrum a while ago, and today I found this piece of bone, it was found in the same location. Abu Dhabi, UAE The bone is slightly curved, I think it might be the filled canal of a sawfish rosstrum, but I might be wrong. I would like to hear from you guys.

Carl Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Don't know what the smaller pieces are but the one of the bottom of the first shot certainly looks like a fragment of sawfish rostrum. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second smaller piece could well be a filled canal from a sawfish rostrum, but it is really difficult to say for sure from pictures. I suggest you take both specimens to a museum in the UAE to get a professional id. Marco Sr. "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

The people here know very liitle about any kinds of fossils. I appreciate your responce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
