RescueMJ Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Found this suspect item inland Venice, FL. Mostly Pleistocene material within 100 yards: sloth, megs, dugong...Lots of clay and limestone in this site. Some material not totally mineralized. When cleaning item, fiberous material revealed. Unsure if it is a fossil or not. Jaw shaped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Pleistocene material Not 100% sure but it might be a whale/cetacean vert piece. Reminds me of an atlas or cervical vertebra partial. For comparison, a cetacean cervical vert. And an atlas/axis (cervical vertebrae) assemblage from the Mace Brown in Charleston.

RescueMJ Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 This was a piece I picked up, tossed back, picked up again. I found nice baleen whale vert close to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
