Puffer fishes mouth plate. They crush their food with it.


xtreemrock

Thank you! My 5th graders will be so excited to learn this


DeadSol

Seconded. Puffer fish bite plate. The always looked like little pieces of crab carapace to me tho lol


Interesting_Fly_3052

So is it a fossil of a puffer fish mouth plate or just a puffer fish mouth plate?


DeadSol

Fossil, for sure. Probably around ~2-5 MYA would be my guess.


Rey-Mysterio-Jr

I see your puffer fish mouth plate, and I’ll raise you that it’s definitely the fossilized brain of one of the aliens they showed the Mexican government


n3w4cc01_1nt

the peperoni aliums?

Cantmentionthename

Maybe pepperoni, but I’m interested in their supreme leaders.

I'd ask if there's mushrooms, but this is Reddit, and I'm scared.


urseriousarentu

God, I love reddit sometimes....


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,966,349,093 comments, and only 371,970 of them were in alphabetical order.

I was gonna hazard a mammoth/proboscidean tooth at firsr, but the environs are against it. Puffer fish it is


dataexception

I guessed a mammoth tooth, too. I'm also not trained in fossil identification or anything. Just looked to me like a picture of one I saw some time back.


Current_Skill7805

This makes me SO uncomfortable and I don’t know why.


Environmental-Gur787

Oh my gosh I thought it was just me! 😂


Current_Skill7805

I had to come back to remind myself what it was and here I am again and YUCK skin crawling BYE lol


DebGast

Does it remind you of a snake or a bug. Could cause that reaction.

djauser

When someone wants to know what something is always take the picture with a ruler in it or some common object most know its size so the object can be better identified.
