LiamL Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Ever wondered what a sturgeon fin looks like cut down the middle and polished? This is from a large fish called Gyrosteus mirabilis that swam in the seas near whitby all them years ago. i think it’s the cartilage. As found Cut straight down the middle, showing the pyrite too. 12 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
