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.

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?

You may or may not know that I have been obsessing over finding a mosasaur vertebra and tooth. I am lucky to live in Texas where fossils are plentiful in some areas but the most productive mosasaur area is still 6 hours drive from me. So I don't get there often and the few times I have.....no verts or teeth for me. I am not complaining (too much) because I have found other great things in the North Sulphur River, but not the mosie vert or tooth of my dreams. I am lucky to have friends who hunt there regularly who feel sorry for me and give me verts and even a lovely big tooth. But I DIDN'T FIND THEM. I do know that mosie stuff can be found in Central Texas where I live (thanks to @Jared C and his amazing adventures) I know they can be found (although very rarely) in our local creeks and such. So of course I keep an eye out while hunting but with no real hope of finding them. But I hope anyways! Which brings me to today....which I count as part of my birthday weekend (birthday was Friday, but you know.....weekend still counts! ). Went out on a little fossil hunt to a new site that a friend told me about...lots of baculites (which are relatively rare here in Central Texas) and lo and behold.....I FOUND MY VERT! And not two feet away....a little tooth! Mother Nature decided to gift me not just one, but TWO of my bucket list fossil finds today! Granted, they are pretty busted up and the tooth is not complete, but WHO CARES! I FOUND A MOSASAUR VERT AND TOOTH practically in my own backyard!!!! Turns out this little exposure is Ozan Formation and I can't wait to get back out there again....after a good rain! And, to top it off, found a complete ammonite in addition to some lovely gastropods and about a billion baculites. It's no mosie in situ, but I'll take what I am gifted. Thank you Mother Nature!!!

My boyfriend dredged the Pacific Ocean for a living. This vertebra was scooped up off the ocean floor. It has barnacles on it. What animal could it be from?

Hi All, I found this chunk of fossilized bone on the beach in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. It's approximately 2" x 1" and appears to be broken off on both ends. It has distinct features, like a straight spine down the middle that tapers on one end and divides or forks into two bones on the other end. My only guess is a part of a Marine mammal Vertebra? All IDs are appreciated. Thanks Lynn

Hello, All 🙂 Found this sitting on the riverbed while crossing a shallow section a month ago or so. Same spot I found a bovid cervical vert trip Before. Tossed it in the boat as a modern cow thoracic to identify “which one”. Saved it for a day when the temps cold and the water is up. That’s today, only problem is I can’t find a vertebra with a fork in it to save my life. Cow, horse, camel , oxen… no forked thoracic. Can bovids of different breeds have different vertebrae characteristics? Is this not a thoracic vert? Where too next?? its 7.5” long and 3” wide with the broken piece added back into the measurement. That’s 187mm ish long… Peace River , Florida modern thru Miocene Thanks for any insight or suggestions. Appreciate the feedback Jp

From the album: Sonickmonx's South Carolina Finds
This vertebra is almost 4" in diameter. I found it in the Donoho Creek Formation. According to my references this is a massive plesiosaur vertebra. I have had some discussion around it, but have not had any evidence pointing to another culprit.-

to A while back... probably like 5 years ago. I bought a grouping of Texas mosasaur vertebrae from a dealer online, and am now sorting through all of the fossils that I have accumulated in order to downsize my collection. I found this vertebra in with them, and I don't think it is a mosasaur vertebrae... it doesn't have the typical convex/concave features of any that I have seen... Any help in identifying this vertebra would be greatly appreciated.

This fossil appears to be a vertebra, and was located as a surface find, possibly in a Late Cretaceous area of McKinnley County, New Mexico (northwest portion of the state). The geological formation is not known. The fossil is hexagonal in shape, and measures about 6.5 cm. in diameter, and 6 cm. thick. Any ideas on the original type of beastie? Thanks.
