Hello,
I recently found these two alligator scutes in Manatee County, FL. Upon close inspection they both seem to have a piece of something dark lodged in them. It appears almost in the same place on both scutes. One of the dark spots has a very interesting shape to it, like it could be a fossil or mineral. The scutes were discovered less than an inch apart at a land site. What are the dark spots on these scutes? Thank you for looking.
