Katherinez Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I found this last weekend on the beach and am stumped! It is about 1.5 to 2 inches long. Ideas? Link to more pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Please post all the pictures here as links tend to go dead. From the one picture I would go with a fish tilly bone.

FossilDAWG Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Can we see some other angles? I'm getting a large crab/lobster claw vibe from this one. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 BTW I did not know there were so many people willing to offer juvenile, scatological, or obscene comments on Imgur! Yet another reason to not link to outside photo hosting sites. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm leaning toward barnacle now...

Katherinez Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thank you everyone. Yes I HATE Imgur... I didn't want to put the link but wasn't on the laptop to decrease the size of the pix I had already posted. Sorry for the external link! I can post/edit other pictures if needed. This is the BEST group of folks, so thank you. And thank you Tim for adding them here. So maybe mammal tooth and maybe barnacle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm not so sure of either. Maybe give it some time and let a few others chime in. I am not convinced it's not something else we've seen, but we're not seeing it because of the amount of wear and vagaries of preservation. Mark.

hemipristis Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is one of those that pictures don't do justice, I don't think. I'd need to see it in person.
