dchilliard Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hello, Does anybody know what bone from what animal this might be from? Found it in a gravelbed by a creek in Richardson. Looks to be relatively new or very well-preserved. There are four nutrient foramen on one side. It doesn't look like a typical vertebrae as it does not have a neural foramen, so I'm guessing it could be some kind of caudal vertebrae but I can't ID it although I have researched extensively. Other ideas that seem close are that it is part of a hoof or even a scute... but from what animal? Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Looks like a broken and worn ungulate axis vertebra. In what state is Richardson? Edited December 22, 2013 by RichW9090 The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Richardson is in part of north central Texas where you expect to find cretaceous marine fossils in the bedrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
