ystloom Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hello - I found the fossil pictured in North Myrtle Beach 2 weeks ago while on vacation. I initially thought it was wood and was moving it out of the way to search for teeth and fossils, but the heavy weight made me take a closer look. It is about 3 " long, 1.25 " thick, cylindrical and slightly curved. This was my first time hunting for fossils. I did not see anything online that resembles this. It is obvious the fossil was broken on both ends at one point. Any help in IDing what this could be would be appreciated! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Looks more like a rib bone. Seems pretty dense, maybe Dugong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
