New Members Angora-Wabbit Posted April 13, 2022 New Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Hi, new to fossil hunting... and at this point it's just hard to find out what my imagination is or what's real. I found this rock on the beach in Denmark... so...dumb coincidence, or actually a fish imprinted on a rock? just noticed the back looks weird to Edited April 13, 2022 by Angora-Wabbit back is also weird, didn't notice it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. I'm afraid your 'fish' is just a piece of limestone that has been fractured and then weathered to produce the suggestive shape. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

New Members Angora-Wabbit Posted April 13, 2022 Author New Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 Haha, i was afraid of that, strange to only be an outline I guess, this is all of the funny items I found on the beach here, def. no fossils I think, except if you call petrified wood a fossil, really loved the smiley stone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I would like to see the shiny black cresent shaped piece in more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The back side almost certainly contains fossils. they look like cross sections of bivalves or similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Looks like the last item may be a horse incisor. Wait for other opinions, though.

Cool! think its pretty thin to be from a horse though, at its max it's 1 cm wide, so im curious, if it's a tooth, could it be from another animal maybe? would love to hear more opinions getting exited to go hunting again, it's so relaxing to do aswell Edited April 13, 2022 by Angora-Wabbit Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Not sure on measurements, but it is pretty beat up/worn/water eroded, so that may play some part. Just going off looks, but others may be able to help. @Harry Pristis Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

val horn Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Not sure what it could be in the area you collected in. if found in florida i would think in terms of piece of dugong rib, piece of antler, or even petrified wood. As said i dont know if it is any of the above. Is there a local museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Angora-Wabbit Posted April 13, 2022 Author New Members Share Posted April 13, 2022 Actually, this place is filled with deer, wouldn't surprise me if it was a small piece of antler, found a lot of petrified wood here, but they were not as deep black as this is. Found it in Denmark (the island is called funnen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Research "hackle fringe" or "hackle fracture" in regard to your first photo. I don't see anything that suggests to me the black object is a tooth or fossil. 1 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
