Reebs Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) I found this last year in the sand at Venice Beach, FL. It doesn’t appear to be fully fossilized. I’m guessing it’s from an animal? I’m really not sure at all. Could it be from a bird beak? The white part almost looks like wood but I think it’s actually bone and then it blends into translucent material that feels smooth like enamel on a nail. It’s about 4 inches long and extremely sharp and pointy. It could impale you. Any ideas? Thanks!! Edited December 4, 2018 by Reebs Change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
