Greetings,

 

Since There's not much collecting to be done here, I've started diving into the collection and trying to ID and label.

I found this vertebra at the Lee Creek Mine (aka Aurora) in Yorktown spoils.  It is 33mm in length, rather porous and very light.  I was thinking bird, but thought I'd get some other opinions.  Any ID suggestions?

 

The photos in order are: "bottom", "top", "side", end 1 and end 2

same reply as your No 2.  Not only is it light in weight, but it is extremely hollowed out.  Bird. 

 

thank you!
