More shark Teeth and a few other things from Antwerp!








Hi all,
I have a few more finds I'm not sure about from Antwerp. There is what looks like a crab claw section. Not sure if it is a fossil though! Looks very much like a normal crab claw.
As always, any help on identification would be appreciated!
A big thanks,
Colin.

Hello Colin, number 4 is definitely a bone, but i can't place it. It look fishy, a bit. Number 5 is also a kind of bone. I think it's a little flat for a crab claw, but that isn't my expertise.

I would think number 4 might be a bird bone.

Thanks for the info Martijn.
Seems that the crab claw pic never made it. I will post it again soon. I thought maybe 5 looked a little like a shell from maybe a turtle or something. The pattern seems very symmetrical although it looks like bone!
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Colin.

Hey Gigi,
thanks for the confirmation of the Sphyrna zygaena and bird bone which I was most unsure about.
Cheers,
Colin.
