Hi again, Everyone.

 

I kept some more beach finds that caught my attention.  I would love to hear what you think.

Jon, 

You need to work on your technique of asking for identifications on multiple finds,  thus lowering the confusion.. Please attach a number (1st, 2nd, 3rd for each unique find. )  and a measurement (use a millemeter ruler in the photo is easy)

 

#1 Similar in shape to wild pig tusk,  but that is a 20 % guess, meaning 80% unknown

#2  Nothing occurs to me

#3  The "pattern" reminds me of Porcupine or Burr fish mouthplate fragment

#4 Closest to worn Alligator tooth

#5 Looks like a snapping turtle claw or crab claw

#6  -- Is this a different angle on #5 find?

# 7, 8, 9, 10... 5 photos of one find or 5 different finds.  In any case, all are Porcupine or Burr fish mouthplate.

#11 I think this may be a stingray dermal denticle. like this
