New Members miner1436 Posted November 29, 2014 New Members Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was checking out the local beach the other day and found this large bone fragment. I also found a bunch of turtle shell fragments around the same area in the water, some indicating of a very large sea turtle at one time. As well as some ray barbs and teeth. Any idea if this might be a piece of turtle bone, or something else entirely? Any ideas? Thanks, new to this and trying to learn as much as possible.

fossilized6s Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Usually with Florida material it's a jumbled mess of fossils. So something being associated in a river or on the beach would be rare. Your find unfortunately doesn't have any defining characteristics to help ID it. It looks to be just a chunk-o-bone. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
