Can anyone tell me what this is? It was found on East Beach on Galveston Island in Galveston, Texas. I find lots of shark teeth on this beach, but have no idea what this could be. *last two pics are just for size reference.

Hi again! Our recent beach vacation in Mexico made me remember a quick trip we had to Galveston about 3 summers ago. We found what we believed to be fossilized bone in the surf on Bolivar Peninsula in TX but never asked anyone to identify. After surfing through some pics here, could it be a vertebrae—with one side broken off? Ideas on the species?

This is a find from a few months ago but just received it back from being prepped. I have been hunting the beaches around the Galveston area for years and have accumulated quite a few crabs but this one is by far and away the most complete example I have seen of a Libinia from the Beaumont formation. It was still in a clump of matrix when I found it and was hoping it would have a few leggies. Was super excited to see it did have a few. Thought I would share. IMG_3397.MOV

From the album: Galveston Fossils
Spotted this one at night - best way to beat the heat during the Summer, but makes hunting much more difficult than it already is in Galveston. Tiger sharks appear to be less common than Carcharhinus; this is from the extant species: Galeocerdo cuvier. -

Razor sharp sandbar shark tooth. Lovely dark blue when it was still wet. -

After drying out, some teeth can change their color, typically getting a bit lighter. -

Found 3 teeth this weekend trip. Galveston shark teeth are very hard to find (for me). These were all found on the main island (not Bolivar). The top two I believe are the sandbar shark (C. plumbeus) and the lower one is a tiger shark (G. cuvier). -

Hello, I recently found this object at the beach in Bolivar Peninsula, Tx. The fossils from the beach are washing out of an offshore late pleistocene deposit, probably from the Beaumont formation. I picked it up thinking it was some shell fragment, but it looks to me like it might be some enamel from a tooth. It has shades of colors bright orange, reds, and tints of blue and grey. Let me know what y’all think about it. Top side Top side revealing the texture patterns which look like they’ve been eroded. Bottom side (there seems to be a layer of a different material on top the of the “enamel”)
