ThePhysicist Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It's fish, and given the size, I'm fairly certain it's Xiphactinus. 1 4 "Argumentation cannot suffice for the discovery of new work, since the subtlety of Nature is greater many times than the subtlety of argument." - Carl Sagan "I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there." - Richard Feynman Collections: Hell Creek Microsite | Hell Creek/Lance | Dinosaurs | Sharks | Squamates | Post Oak Creek | North Sulphur River | Lee Creek | Aguja | Permian | Devonian | Triassic | Harding Sandstone Instagram: @thephysicist_tff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Agree, this is fish, based on the depressions/concavities along the rim of the vertebra...

JesseKoz Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Is the acronym "NSR" North Sulphur River? After some googling I'm guessing it's this locale, rather than New Source Review, National Scenic Railway or Non-sexual relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseKoz Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Thanks @Coco, looks like it doesn't work on my phones browser. Handy to know for when I'm on the desktop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
