MC_Hendges Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hello! I’m very new to the hobby of fossil finding and I already can’t get enough of it. I went to green mill run in Greenville, North Carolina and found a few good pieces, but I can’t seem to identify one of them. Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

Al Dente Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It is a large dermal denticle from a ray. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Doesn't look like the ray dermal ossicles I've seen. But I don't have a good alternative identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Calvert Cliffs is closest for big exposures and the Kirkwood lag along Shark river etc. Never saw one up that way when that was my turf.
