I'm curious if anyone has any good papers or resources for identifying bones such as vertebrae or teeth between the various Bison species. Here on TFF, I have seen the paper that @Harry Pristis has linked in other threads, which helps in identifying the skulls... but how can I identify other bones? How do online merchants, and other papers know that the specimen they are displaying is Bison priscus for example? I'm sure there is a paper somewhere, but I can't find anything. I'm hoping some of the experts here can refer me to some handy reference material Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased a large collection of fossils from the old Terramar Pit in Pasco County, Florida. The collection contains the typical Lower Oligocene Suwannee Formation inverts along with Suwannee shark teeth and sink hole material that I assume is Upper Pleistocene based on some Alligator material. Also included is a vertebra identified as coming from a Suwannee Dugong. I have my doubt as it is the same color as the sink hole material, but hoping some of the vert people on the forum can help in either confirm or discount dugong.

Hi, I suspect I have a piece of vertebra of a mammoth? It was found in the North Sea. The dimensions are approximately 33 cm by 33 cm and 8 cm thick. Would love to learn more about it!

Hi! I am not sure if this is meant to go here. This may come across as a seriously stupid and uneducated question , but are Megalodon vertebrae real? I have looked online and haven’t seen any photos.

Some days the finds are fewer, but I am always satisfied with the River, the Sun, the birds. Plus , I need the exercise. Lots of small shark teeth, a couple of Mammoth frags, half of an interesting Whale Bulla..., some odds and ends plus two for identification.. This Dolphin periotic. I was pleased to see it in a late afternoon sieve. I should be able to Identify the dolphin given a little sleep and time, but if anyone wants to step in and provide a species ID, that is good also, A few photos from different angles.. and Second, A more difficult ID, but I thought it might be possible. This usually means thinking of every mammal possible in the Peace River and go on the Internet looking at Verts with a process of elimination. Does the pattern of the bone imply marine mammal ? A few more photos... That process should help us in the ID.

I am at a loss on this one folks. Could be just an interesting sandstone specimen, a paperweight, or a cool Triassic vertebra. Any ideas? Found in the Caprock area of the Texas panhandle. Thank you.

Another fossil from my thrift store find. The information tag said, “1950’s collection fossils and rocks-in matrix. Mosasaur vertebrae- 300 million years old. Found in South Dakota.” Is this true? What does “in matrix” mean?

Thoughts on this vertebra? Found in a box of bison bones from Sherburne County Minnesota. Anoka Sand Plain materials - roughly 6k years old.

Hello, Anyone able to ID a small Isle of Wight vertebra? From Compton Beach, Cretaceous in age. I would guess it is Iguanodon or other ornithopod, but would love others thoughts. 5 x 4.5 x 4 thanks

Well, I am stumped with this vertebrae that I found on the Kaw river in Kansas. Thank you for your help!

Hi all! I made a journey down to Point A Dam today (despite high river levels) just to shuffle about. I came across these two vertebra, the smallest of which is clearly a fish, but I’m not quite sure what the other is. Cetacean? If you have any info on either, please share. Thank you! P.S. I somehow never have a ruler with me so I used the lines of a college ruled notebook, which are separated by 7.1 mm, as a makeshift scale. I apologize for this. 1: 2:

Hi all, I found this at Big Brook in NJ (late cretaceous) a few months ago during one of my trips. I recognize it as a vertebra, but not like any shark or fish vertebra I've found before. Any ideas?

It's a theropod vertebrate fossil, and I'm curious what type of dinosaur it is exactly. Thank you

1 more from the same location, a vertebra. Photos 1 & 2 are the front and back, while 3 & 4 show top and bottom. One end appears flat, while the other is crudely pointed. Axis vert? I was thinking small mammal. Thoughts? thanks!

Hoping for a little assistance. I acquired this little vertebra a while back. Its nice color and detail caught my eye. It was being identified as a dinosaur caudal (I see a lot of similar ones being pushed as “raptor”) but I thought it looked to be a champsosaur caudal. The origin was said to be Hell Creek Fm. in Montana and that is about all I know. I’d like to get a second opinion on this if possible. Pardon the pics. I don’t have the best setup at the moment.
