MillerTime Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi guys, new to the site and just wanted to get some help on identifying some items I found at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I typically just look for shark teeth but thought these were interesting enough to keep. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillerTime Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 I assume this is a tooth or maybe a claw? But I have no clue from what, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabs fossilized too. What does the wide end look like? Hollow? A shot of the other side would be helpful, too.

caldigger Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Second item is the internal cast of a bi-valve with fluting around the ventral margin ( opening edge ). Third looks like turtle shell ( Soft Shell maybe? ) Fourth I would agree with crab claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
