Rowboater Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I find a fair amount of medium sized verts. This one is different. It is about one inch wide and high, and about 2 inches long (2.5 cm X 2.5 cm X 5 cm). Wat's different is that it is encased in supporting fossilized bone(?) with the ventral blood vessel passage clearly visible. The dorsal part is unfortunately damaged. The cephalic vertebra is much bigger than the caudal vert, as I interpret (quite possibly I'm wrong). But more interesting than the isolated verts I usually find. Anyone have any idea what type of animal this came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowboater Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 @Al Dente @Rockwood @Shellseeker Thanks everyone. I occasionally find the ones without the "casing" support, but good to know they are big fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
