saysac Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 After months away from the site and foot surgery behind me, my daughter went with me for my first trip to the site. She found this and I am not sure what it is. Hope the photo is good enough. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hey Sherry nice to see you back posting. Glad the surgery went well. Your item looks fishy to me - either a scale or a skull element. Can't wait to see what you find next.

saysac Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Tim, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back! Fish scale is what I was thinking, but just did not have quite the same shape as my previous ones. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It actually has more of an operculum shape, I think. (Gill cover) . Although, it could be a broken scale, as well. Great find.

Stocksdale Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Found an image of some Coelocanth gill covers for comparison. The illustration is of Devonian ones, but might give a general idea.
