rockfishmatt Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi Folks, Finally made it to Matoaka this past weekend after the recent Hurricane. Alot of new cliff falls. Was able to collect a few Ecphora is semi decent condition. Nothing completely intact though. I have found a few bone fragments on my last several trips to Matoaka and am looking for an expert opinion on what they are. Below is a pic from my trip this weekend. I really think this is modern but I'm not entirely sure. I think its a C1 vertebrae from a deer, but if anyone has any other thoughts please let me know. Other posts below are of three other fragments I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfishmatt Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Here are pics of another fragment. This is definitely from a vertebrae but I'm interested in thoughts on potential taxa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The fragments don't have any real diagnostic features. Indeterminate bone fragments, possibly cetecean or delphinid. Likely mammal.
