I recently purchased this fossil found in the Ketleri formation of Latvia. It had little information given with it and no label when it arrived, so all I know about it is that it comes from the Upper Fammenian of the Devonian and that the two fossils in the piece are not associated. The placoderm armor section is in all likeliness Bothriolepis, since about 70% of fossils from the formation are from that particular animal as far as I could find. The vertebrate bone is what I'm wondering about though, even though it is a fragment I am interested if it could be identified. It is about 2cm long, both ends are broken off but the break shows a pretty large internal cavity going straight through the bone. Would anyone know how to identify it, even if just to a broad group of animals?

Hello dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired some cheap shards of supposed placoderm armor from one of the baltic states, Latvia I think, and thats sadly all the infomation i got. I just found the time to take a closer look at them and think that the three biggest parts seem to fit together, the rest is crumbs. Is there anyone who can tell me more about what I have here, genus, family, anatomy... Thanks J

I found it in Latvia (Europe), near Broceni, on my land. Excavator was digging pebbles and rocks for road repair, and about 2 meters deep I spotted this stone which looked interesting. Some of the other stones around contain small shell imprints. And at the depth of about 4 meters there is Zechstein rocks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechstein As I understand that means that millions of years ago there was a sea, where I am digging my rocks now. Please take a look at that piece of rock and tell me what you think, could it be a fossil? https://photos.app.goo.gl/VXCZtHJ1Jej9SiJy7 Thank you.
