Chunkette Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I live in the Arabian desert, near Jebel Hafeet. Yesterday I found a pavement tooth of an eagle ray. Today I found a mysterious fossil which looks like it might be part of the body and fins/wings of a ray. I appreciate that their bodies were made of cartilage and that is not usually preserved very well, but in some cases it’s possible. Any opinions would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Rockwood Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm not saying it's a ray, but I think it looks more like it than a coral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBones Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The surrounding rock definitely looks like coral, I have picked up similar pieces in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
