Need Help With Florida Beach Fossil Id


Sea Robin

Recommended Posts

I found this fossil on Jacksonville beach. It has some interesting ridges on the side, but can't find any comparisons yet. Any help is appreciated!

It looks like bone (I think I see a foramen), but it is pretty enigmatic in form.

If I were forced at gunpoint to make a guess, I'd guess a fragment of a pelvis of a large mammal. But I think the ridges you see are not actual surface features of the bone, but rather are caused by the erosion of the bone surface.

The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.
