Chodge613 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I found this fossil in Englewood, Flordia, on the beach along with some fossilized shark teeth. I think it’s a Dugong rib bone fragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi, Don't make several posts with the same fossil, it is useless. The specialists will arrive, just wait a little. Measures would also be helpful.

Chodge613 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 This rib bone fragment was found on a Florida beach in Englewood. I believe it belongs to a Dugong, but it’s not solid black like most online examples. It’s roughly 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Can anyone help affirm my theory or provide evidence to the contrary? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Isn't this the same specimen you have posted twice already? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I don't think you will get a better ID than indeterminate mammal rib.
