Found Large Mammal Vertebra

Recommended Posts

More overburden mammal fossils, these two are some of the better mammal vertebrae I've found. Any guesses? I've had a hard time trying to pin point it based solely on their shape. Ill post the fish vertebrae next.

The first is definitely cetacean, to me it looks like a thoracic or lumbar vertebra. The second might be cetacean but I’m not 100% sure. Nice finds

I have seen Cetacean fossils in the UF natural history museum, I just never would have imagined that the bones of mammoths would be that close to cetaceans. Then again I am slowly piecing together a family of turtles. Thank you.
