Auspex Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The trabecular bone morphology reminds me of a broken/worn whale vertebra. 3 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Mainefossils Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Interesting find @Tootslg! I think that a rock is a possibility, but I am really not sure. It would be helpful though to provide some information on where it is found. Some scale would also be useful (millimeters are preferable) - @Coco has recently made an excellent post on the subject. Happy Hunting! Edited October 11, 2021 by Mainefossils The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing. Regards, Asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
