florida_fossils Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Found at a Florida beach, East coast (St.Lucie County). Beach has reconstructive transplanted matrix with known fossils. Possible wash out, or possible fossil from off shore? This maybe too far gone to tell. Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.

Auspex Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The shape, size, and density are consistent with Dugong (or at least sirinian) rib.

Tarheel59 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yep Dugong rib nice one too. Probally from offshore wash-in. If they have replentished the beaches this past winter or rfecently could be pumped up from there or off shore storms could have done it too.

florida_fossils Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Cool! Thanks everyone. Seems to be a Dugong weekend! I have another post that I think is Dugong. Thanks again.
