I think it’s a rock, sorry.
-
@bob-jones @rens-dewaard This is definitely a clam cast. It may take some time for me to find the name though.
-
This has been verified to be a clam . It is a fossil. Thanks for the responses.
-
Oh sorry! 😅
-
@bob-jones I think it might be Lirophora
-
Thank you Mackenzie-smith

Hi, @Bob-Jones, could you post more photos from different angles? Right now I can’t tell if this is a piece of wood or a horse tooth – some views of the top and bottom would help a lot!
-
Ok thanks
-
I’m pretty sure this is a horse tooth, but @SMoran and @Jeanette-Pirlo will be able to confirm. Cool find!
-
-
@bob-jones Thanks for posting more angles. It’s a horse tooth!
-
Thank you….I thought that might be but I want to know for sure. Thanks for your time 😎

Beach Fossils from the myFOSSIL app 2 weeks ago2 weeks ago2 weeks agoMy first fossil. Found on the southernmost point in Key West. I think it’s a post-mesozoic coral reef (20-65 million years). But if anyone has more info please comment. #fossil
-
This does appear to be a scleractinian coral – which are the more modern group of corals, @Nicholas-Bilotta. Macrostrat will help us nail down the age: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=1.5/x=16/y=23/bedrock/lines/

@samantha-ocon thank you very much! Definitely very helpful, just downloaded the Rockd app
-
Rockd is the best! Me + my partner use it out in the field all the time when we look for outcrops.
-
-
If fossil it probably came from either the Key Largo Limestone or Tamiami Oolite. Both are young. They are Pleistocene and range from 125,000 to 100,000 years old.
-
It is possible that it’s fossil – just based on the apparent weathering on the edges of the corallites.
-
-
Yes, it is fossil.
-
Thanks for the info @mackenzie-Smith I’m still very excited about finding it. Hope to find another… 650x older
