MarcoSr Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Really nice fish scale. Your first specimen, from the picture, looks like a partial tooth from an eagle ray dental pavement and not a fish vertebra. Marco Sr. 3 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

Marco Sr. These two items were purchased from the collection of a known specialist, so I'm inclined to believe the included note. At a local shop.

At a local shop. Even an expert can get their labels mixed up. Apply the smell test. Fish vertebrae look like spools with concave surfaces where they meet. Give us some well exposed different views of the fossil; maybe our opinions will change.

Bob Saunders Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 I agree on the label mix up or possibly a kid or customer of the store mixed them. Bagged in trays for $1.50 each. The opposite side. I will correct my records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
