A couple of weeks ago Dennis and I went back to Edisto Beach, S.C. to celebrate our 31st. wedding anniversary. The drive to the Island was an unpleasant mix of wind and heavy rain, but all that weather served to redistribute fresh fossil material on the beach! Once again, we had lovely weather and low tides at a convenient time of day for the rest of the week. The majority of the fossils found on Edisto Beach are Late Pleistocene, ca. 50,000-10,000 old. They are from an undetermined offshore unit, Charleston County, S.C. This very large vertebra was sitting right on top of the shell pile the morning after the big blow. I tried to remember to take in situ photos. It's so hard to not just snatch the finds up! And I remembered to use my special turquoise Magic Photo Cube @aerogrower We are not sure of the ID of the vertebra beyond it being a cervical one. Any ideas? And a view of each angle; My hunting buddy Dennis has developed quite an eye for fossils, and contributed to our antler collection in this photo. I have never found so much antler at one time! continued in next reply
