Al Dente Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looks like some type of arthropod claw. The exoskeleton has leached away leaving a steinkern. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Possibly a pectoral spine of a Devonian aged fish. Bothriolepis remains have been found in Bolivia.

oilshale Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don't believe in crab claws either. Tim is probably right. To me the piece seems so interesting that I would show the fossil to a local paleontologist. 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
