I found this on a beach in the Caribbean a few years ago. No one can tell me what it is. Can't tell if it is bone or some type of stone or mineral.

Pure white sand is all I can make out! Someone may be able to help, but a photo will be needed.

Sorry...just added pics.

In your second picture it looks like a seam runs all the way down the item.IMO it is fiberglass that has been weathered and worn down by wave action. Just my opinion.

It's pretty difficult to get a "feel" of that object from the picture. You might have to try scraping it with a knife or drilling it to determine what the material is. After that is decided, it might help someone in identifying it for you.

All good advice. You may also apply something hot, like a soldering iron, to it to see if it melts.

Give it the float test... Toss it in the ocean, if it floats it's plastic... If it sinks don't worry about it!
