wfdjr Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hello All; First post. Was fishing yesterday along the banks of the DE river in NJ and tripped over something. Looked a little different, picked it up and looks to be a possible vertebrae fossil. Any thoughts on what this might be? Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Part of a sacrum, perhaps? In any case, what it is from is beyond my knowledge level.

Boesse Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's half of a large terrestrial mammal (probably ungulate) cervical vertebra. My guess would perhaps be bison, cow, or horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
