tatehntr Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Looking to get an ID on this little guy. I’ve found one or two before this one. Some kind of back plate perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSTer Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 My first thought is a fish skull cap. (Is that what you mean with "fish back plate"?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea what I thought I meant by back plate. Appreciate the input though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was thinking something along the lines of the armored back of a sturgeon like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSTer Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 You might be right. I'm no expert, but it does resemble several fish skull caps I've found. Perhaps someone else will chime in with an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have a few from LC & the Chesapeake that look like that. The most specific ID's I've ever seen are "fish skull cap" 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Rockwood Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Can't say I have a fossilized fish skull cap, but shouldn't it still look like fish bone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
