part of a mollusc shell
Thanks!
@leonardo-miranda I don’t see any resemblance of a mollusk shell, it more closely resembles a jaw bone but I’m not sure about that, the part that throws me off are the ridges in the middle.
That’s what I was thinking but can’t quite figure out what species
Greetings all I remember seeing a specimen like this posted a year ago. @bill-heim could certainly help
It is part of the outer lip of a mollusc, probably a helmet conch, Cassis sp.
It’s part of a mollusc
Yes, it’s a mollusk shell with ridges on the interior opening (like a conch), and it’s a happy accident that this fragment resembles a jaw. Very cool!
Thanks guys!
