OBX Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This was found on the beach In Galveston, TX. on Saturday 5/4/19. I am not educated in fossils but it appears to be fossilized like petrified wood becomes. Please forgive me for my lack of experience in this field. I am limited in knowledge of sea life as well. This is my first attempt in trying to find what this is but in thinking its a fossil what better place to start. Please feel free to lead me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Welcome to TFF! \It is a ray tail barb. There are many species of ray and skate that have very similar spines. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.
