Pleuromya Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi, I've found a few things looking back at my Aust cliff material. This here somewhat resembles a tooth or claw in shape. I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me what it is? Found at Aust cliff, UK. It's 6mm long. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleuromya Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sorry I had completely forgotten to upload the picture. I wasn't able to get any better quality pictures, sorry about the really late response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looks like possible bone to me too... Definitely not a tooth, as no surface ornamentation is visible (nor is any enamel), and the piece is entirely flat otherwise. 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 You'll have to prep that out a bit more to know better. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
