Kellymac Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello, does anyone know what type of bone this is and/or the animal it came from? It was found off the Gulf Coast of the Florida panhandle (Navarre beach). I'm guessing it's part of a vertebrae, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Looks like a drum fish mandible to me. Missing the Pharyngeal teeth. It could be recent or fossil. Is it heavy/mineralized?
