Sharko Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Found this on the beach on topsail island and am wondering what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Not sure that it is a bone, but if it is, many possibilities... here are some Alligator snapping turtle (modern?) toe bones.. You can find many other turtle toe bones by searching the internet..

ynot Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Poorly lit and out of focus pictures make it hard to be sure, but I also doubt this is bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemipristis Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Cropped and brightened for you. While the shape is suggestive, I don't believe it is bone. I don't see any bone texture. I can see why you'd pick it up though. I probably would have brought it home for a closer look 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
