Hi, @samantha-gray – This looks like a tooth to me, it is very long. What were you thinking it is? @jeanette-pirlo can you take a look?

@jeanette-pirlo do you have an estimate of how old the tooth could be? Why are there horse teeth fossils often found on Jax beach were their wild horses at one point? Thanks for all this info on my finds!

Horses originated in the ‘Americas’ and spread from there a long time ago. Those which evolved here eventually died out. Contemporary horses were reintroduced when these continents were colonized by Europeans.

Also, it is REALLY helpful if you can place a small measuring device or coin next to fossils so viewers can have a better idea of its size. My initial guess on this was that is was part of a tail from a ray. But I happily defer to the professional opinion.
