New Members sherryfraser Posted July 16 New Members Share Posted July 16 This was found last week on the South Carolina coast. I believe it was between the north part of isle of palms and the southern tip of folly. I was along that entire area over the course of a week. I thought for sure it was a tiny bone etc, but it has been suggested it could be the remnant of a brachiopod or some bivalve. Thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I think it is a small bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Looks like a phosphate pebble, to me. Bones are not in my wheelhouse, however. Wait for some other opinions. Pictures of all sides, in daylight, on a flat surface, with the camera directly above the item, with a ruler for scale might be helpful. Holding fossils while photographing almost always causes some blur.

FossilDAWG Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I also think it is a bone, likely replaced by phosphate. Small fossil fish skulls, often worn or fragmentary, are not rare along the coast. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Caudal vertebra from a turtle maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
