jag2ut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This was found on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. It looks like possibly a set of rounded teeth in a matrix. If any more pictures are needed, just comment and I will post more from different angles Any help would be awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoSr Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 There are a lot of nodules with crab material along the Potomac. This specimen doesn't look like a tooth to me.

Auspex Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It does have that exoskeleton look, doesn't it?

jag2ut Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Comparing it now with other crab material, it looks very similar in texture and form. It might even be multiple crabs in that single matrix. Thanks a bunch to both of you, MarcoSr and Auspex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
