FranzBernhard Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hello! Could this be a jaw fragment with a tooth? Thank you very much for your help! Franz Bernhard
Fossildude19 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I don't think it is a jaw or tooth. It looks like part of a crab claw, to me. More specifically, an internal mold of the dactylus of a crab Chelae, or claw/pincer. Your second and 3rd images clearly show the rest of the claw - or, ... at least, what's left of it.
