SharkToothLover757 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Today I went exploring with my mom in a few creeks here in Virginia and found 2 bones. Trying to figure out what they might be from? I normally collect Shark teeth and shell fossils and this is my first time coming across anything like these. Can anyone help?!?!

Cris Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The first bone is the phalanx from a horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The first looks like a horse medial phalanx and the second is some sort of vertebra. Something added to your pics to provide scale would help....ruler or tape measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkToothLover757 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok.. Yes I thought about that after I had taken the pictures. It's hard to get a good pic. of the second one.. I will take a better picture tomorrow and make sure to have something to compare to! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I agree with the horse toe identification. Try to see where the midline is on that vertebra. That will allow for clearer photos and help to find out what animal it is. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
