Hello everyone!! I'm wondering what I have here?

We were hunting for the almighty Magladon tooth and came across

Some bone fragments. Some chipped sharks teeth an a vertebrae.

But I'm stumped on this one.

I thought "tilly bone" as well, but I'm not 100% happy with that assessment.

I do it think it's a filly bone. The fossiling and shape do not really show that shape.

I'm thinking a tooth root because of how rounded it is. But I know I'm clueless.

Please more help???

I have no doubt that it is a hyperostosic fish bone (Tilly bone).

Thank you all!!! I love the experience that is here. I looked up the tilly bone and its structure

And I can see it.

I'm excited about the simple finds like this. We are going for more teeth on thanksgiving weekend. Until then

Thanks everyone...

There is a thread going on the SC Forum about a bunch of us getting together on Black Friday, Twinlukers. Feel free to join in! :) Good luck on future finds! :)
