Fossildude19 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) It looks like a very worn puffer fish mouth plate, to me. Let's see what the others have to say about it.

edd Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm almost sure it's not a puffer mouth plate, I'm not sure what it is though. 1 " We're all puppets, I'm just a puppet who can see the strings. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphipod Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Burned wood that got preserved is what it kinda looks like to me with the lines and black. Edited November 11, 2015 by amphipod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I'm almost sure it's not a puffer mouth plate, I'm not sure what it is though. Well, ...Edd knows his stuff. If he says it's not puffer mouth plate, I trust his experience. It could also be a water worn piece of oyster shell.

abyssunder Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For me looks like a shell fragment.
