Thank you David and Sonia for your comments, no wonder I couldn't find parallels, I was not looking in the right place.

David, could you point me to the complete reference of the page and images you provided?

Best,
Marina

  That looks a pretty close match, for the sturgeon dorsal fin elements

  Dear Marina,



  Is it possibly a fish bone? Attached are a couple of pages discussing the possible use of Sturgeon bones for eating shellfish and the bones look rather like yours.

  Dear all,

  I'm sending you two pictures of an artefact recovered from a mesolithic shellmidden site in Portugal. I believe it is made from mammal bone. Do you have/ know of similar objects? I have been searching for parallels and I didn't find it.
  Thank you.

  Best,


  Marina Évora
