Ash Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Cant help you, but very nice condition! Do these bones wash up from somewhere? Or wash out from rivers to the beaches? Or out of the beach? Very cool.

TourmalineGuy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) This looks like a snake vertebra to me. This is a vertebra of Crotalus adamanteus you might compare it to. Edited October 31, 2013 by TourmalineGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW9090 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Yes, it is a snake. Could you post a picture of the bottom side? The side facing downwards in your two initial pictures, and a good side view as well? Edited November 3, 2013 by RichW9090 The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
