CalebLuke Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi there - new here. Found this at Rockaway beach in New York. I don't think it's a fossil but I think it's a bone. My best guess is that it's the middle section of a baby crocodile skull, but I have 0-5% confidence in that, especially considering the location. I was trying to find pictures online, but couldn't find anything with a cross-section, which would be most useful. 2 friends said it's a peach pit, and 1 friend said it's coral, but the symmetry (especially from the sides) makes me think otherwise. But if it is indeed something silly, please excuse my foolishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I think it looks fishy. Maybe part of a fish skull(?). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

CalebLuke Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Awesome! Thank you so much. I feel good in at least thinking it came from an animal and not from a peach, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
