Idelond Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hey y'all... I found this in Peace River, Florida... What fossil are these??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Those look like Tilly Bones to me (hyperostotic vertebrae). Others may chime in to confirm (or correct) me. A search online for "tilly bones" will bring up some interesting content to learn about these odd inflated bones. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You don't have to "google" tilly bone. Search this forum for good information. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idelond Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks everyone... I searched here and online for Tilly Bone... The two I have is flat on the back (doesn't look like inflated)... And is almost perfectly symmetrical down the middle.... Could it be something else??? And if it's Tilly Bone... Any guess from what??? Thank u all for ur time again... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idelond Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks.... Just saw in detail... It could be a Vertebral Hyperostosis... But the ones I found is at least twice the size shown on page 45. That's the only one that looks like mine... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Various species seem to have this hyperostosis and so the size of the verts could vary with species. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
