I found this vertebra in some Aguja Formation micro matrix. It measures 4mm by 3mm. It's cretaceous in age from Brewster County, Texas. It looks very different from any fish vertebrae that I've ever found. It does seem to have a bit of damage. I'm thinking maybe reptilian. Possibly lizard? What do you guys think?

found this while at my usual spot, northern Minnesota, Coleraine formation idk what it is, I’m afraid to clean it off because it’s somewhat fragile, but it looks donut shaped but with harder edges, so like a big fish vertebrae, which I did actually find a smaller one in the same hunt.

Hello, Earlier today I found these two Fossil vertebra which I suspect are either Fish or Mosasaur or Plesiosaur, in a small gravel bank near some Texigryphaea. These are also my first fossil vertebrae. I found these two in the East Fork Trinity River in North Texas. And the two vertebra were right next to each other, probably two or three inches away from each other. I then looked later on the USGS Geological Survey and found that the Elm Fork Trinity River has holocene-era rocks, so then that rules out Mosasaur I guess? I looked online to see Mosasaur and fish verebrae to see if I could compare my finds with them, and the smaller vertebra has the same bone pattern things or veins that some of the other vertebra online had. I must say, they look more bone-like in person. But does anyone know the species or classification of these vertebrae? Any help is appreciated

I'm quite used to finding small fish vertebra from these small sized fish coprolites @GeschWhat from the Oxford Clay of Peterborough. But this one below has more of a shark vertebra appearance, or are there different variations of fish vertebrae. All vertebrae measuring between 2 and 3 millimetres. This one below is also a fish vertebra.

From the album: BONES
Fossil fish vertebra from the well of a gun-pit in a phosphate mine, Polk County, Florida. This vertebra exhibits hyperostosis, an overgrowth of bone, found mostly on the vertebrae and internal spines of some fish. The perforations alongside the centrum may represent what's left of the neural and haemal canals of the vertebra.© Harry Pristis 2015
