Picked this up in about 80 foot of water. Never seen anything like this before. Can’t tell if it is a claw or tooth one on top of each other. There could have been another larger ‘tooth’ on top of these. The large area is as solid as a rock.

Maybe it is something as common as dirt, but it has me stumped.
Any ideals?

It's a petrified stingray penis ??

Were the quarter and the Sharpie next to it when you found it??? If so, it's prolly not too old. . .

(Sorry....couldn't resist).

Good one guys.
So, it looks like at least three of us don't have a clue.

SeacraftSlinger · 09-07-2010, 09:22 PM

Looks like it came off the monster from Cloverfield.

*Nate Baker* · 09-07-2010, 09:50 PM

I'm guessing part of a mandible. Maybe a hogfish?

Bulit7 · 09-07-2010, 09:53 PM

Spadefish, maybe? Gonna shoot one next time and dissect. I think thats it.

You might want to contact fossilbabe over on scubaboard (or www.fossilbabe.com). She will probably know.

I don't have a clue.
