iamsharky Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks everyone!! When I found it, I thought it was just a bone fragment and almost tossed it aside.....I am also wondering if the gashes in the picture may have been from a meg feeding on it......I will post more pics when it dries...Happy Hunting!!
