Mango Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Stopped at the pond on the way home from work again today. Found a few teeth and bone fragments. I picked up the larger of the two fragments thinking it was a neat rock with a hole in it. I have a drawer for those. A few yards away the small one easily caught my eye after I had examined the big one. They seem to be way too similar to be rocks, but I have no idea what they are. Are they shell castings? Bone?

I hope someone can get a positive ID for you! Nice finds! Thanks. Went back today and found a couple of smaller ones with great enamel surface. Seems polished, yet the serrations don't seem worn.
