Reebs Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hello! I found this a few days ago in Parrish, FL at my fossil site. Not quite like anything I ever found before. It is 1 3/4” (44mm) long. It appears to have a hole running through the middle. The thinner tip looks chipped and the wider end has evidence of ridges that look like a walnut or similar. At first I thought seed or nut, but now that I keep looking it almost looks like a cetacean tooth. Really have no clue. Please help ID. Thanks so much.

sharkdoctor Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Interesting! Looks to be a "tilly bone" or hyperostotic fish bone: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
