Thanks Alex I don't think it's turtle jaw -- not enough of a ridge to support the shearing edge. 4 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that your object is part of a steinkern, a phosphatic clay cast of some invertebrate. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatinformationist Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Florida fossils take me home. Think I'll play with my giant, ossified snapper skull tonight. Found it in Turtle Springs near where William Bartram nearly wet his pants when confronted by a giant water turtle. Travels of William Bartram in the South East, is a great read for fossikers; especially his take on the astounding number of giant shark teeth in coastal Carolina.
