Rlyeh Posted May 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2013 How did you come to the conclusion it is a skull? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.United_Nations Posted May 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That is not a skull, if anything it looks like a sea shell and someones put rusted metal around it. the more i look of it, its a lid of some kind 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted May 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Doesn't look like a skull to me, but the top of a stone something-or-other. Gargoyle? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted May 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Don't look like a head to me. I think its a sea shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBERTRACKS Posted May 7, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I came to the conclusion that is it a skull because of the symitry on opposite sides of two eyes and two noses sharing a set of what apprears to be horns. I just need ideas of what to do with it. def not a seashell or lid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBERTRACKS Posted May 7, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted May 7, 2013 a gargoyle seems to be the closest type of creature description so far, good call kasey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keninsc Posted May 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Doesn't look like a skull to me either. Not really sure what it is, but a skull isn't it. No eye holes, no mouth hole, no ear holes. Keep in mind that every skull on planet Earth has to accommodate various other organs, all skulls. Edited May 7, 2013 by keninsc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. K. Posted May 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The bottom almost looks manufactured. Could it be a knob from a garden decoration, some sort of sculpture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 7, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I guess i can somewhat see a resemblance to an aquatic skull of some sort. Sure is small, compared to the penny. Did you find this, or did someone else? As for a shell of some type, certainly possible, but I don't know. I'm fairly certain that a marine museum in your area will identify it, for free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astral Hillbilly Posted May 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It looks more like a decorative cap for some type of gate post, fence post, stair railing, furniture, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBERTRACKS Posted May 7, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted May 7, 2013 finally a good answer haha, yes ty pallidin I will try a marine museum, lots here in NY here are some better pics, because there is no dout in my mind that this is a skull , , , that I found myself on the beach in long island robert moses beach feild 2 when metal detecting , but no the metal detector did not go off when on top of this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/20130507135430.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/20130507135437.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBERTRACKS Posted May 7, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Astral hillbilly, sounds like a good idea, except that it is too light , almost like it weights nothing in my hand , way too delicate to have been fabricated, no this is something from DNA thank you. , , I will keep my finding posted, maybe create a website around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted May 7, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 7, 2013 a gargoyle seems to be the closest type of creature description so far, good call kasey I agree a gargoyle it could be, BUT not a real one, one which was once sitting on top of someones fence as an ornament.

keninsc Posted May 7, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 7, 2013 So, what you're saying is your mind is already made up and you're just looking for validation and suggestions to take it to real experts are simply rejected out of hand. "I don't want it to be anything except this.". Personally, I'm still trying to get the "two headed" part, but to each his own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
