Not a tiki, but definitely a Tiki find. Craigslist find from an old timer out past Elsinore. I guess he used to own a house in Mexico back in the 1960's,(prior to C.I.T.E.S.) and this shell was dredged off of the bottom by shrimp fishermen. It looks to be a Hawksbill because of the pronounced scutes on the carapace.
