[QUOTE="Saving Our History, post: 672241, member: 24614"] Hi everyone, Haven't posted on here for a while... This find I'm needing help with identifying isn't metallic this time around.. Recently I went on a walk down a beach not too far out, and I picked up a rock that I thought was quite unusual, well, turns out it's not a rock at all ! At the time I suspected it appeared to be almost a fossil rather than a rock. Having washed the sand off with water, no scrubbing, I have checked it out in better lighting and it appears I was correct, seems like a fossil of some sort to me.... Not sure at all what it might be from as the teeth seem very small, the sinus holes are quite small, with what appears to be top or bottom mouth roofing on the inside of where the teeth are located, and appears to be on the outside too. It also appears to possibly be a top or lower part of a jaw of some sort, thought it might be a very small sea creature, baby turtle or something else maybe ?? It could be a couple hundred, thousand or million years old... Any thoughts on what it could be would be greatly appreciated ! Thank you!
