molson1 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Found a vertebra in Calvert Cliffs, (Matoaka Beach) MD on the beach today. Approximately 3-3.5 cm in diameter and 2-2.5 cm thick. There are 6 “holes” spaced fairly evenly along the sides. Site is known for fossilized shells and shark’s teeth. Not sure if it’s shark, fish, or something else. Vertebra protrudes out maybe a half a centimeter on one side, so not perfectly round. But, could have been worn down in the bay. Not completely solid. I can hold it up to the light and see a few areas where light shines through a few pinholes. Anyone have any idea what it may have belonged to? Should I take pictures at another angle or with different lighting? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I would read this as three strikes against the ID going any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
