JosephK Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Found this odd fossil washed up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Eastern shore of U.S.A. It is just over 2 cm. I've found many fossils along the shore here but this one is new to me. Can anyone tell me what it is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSHARKFOSSIL Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 WOW! this is an awesome discovery. Well I believe that this is most certainly a great example of a Burrfish Mouthplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
