rcurry26 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi i found this on one of my many adventures in desert near a quartz vein in the buttes. I was told it looked like a vertebra but as I'm really learning. I no very little about fossils and my associates no far less then me so. Counting on y'all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygotus Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Sorry but I’m not seeing a vertebra. Some kind of mineral maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadrosauridae Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 not in any way a fossil vertebra, however if you collected this from a historic gold producing region, then I would crush and pulverize this piece of pan for gold (although that is a subject for a different forum) "There is no shortage of fossils.
