Crann Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Found this on the English north east coast, any idea what it could be? Looks like vertebra to me, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What is the size of the item? I took the liberty of brightening and cropping your images. Can't help with ID, but to me the shape is fairly odd for vertebra. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Rockwood Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 If I might play the roll of pedant today: vertebrae - plural, vertebra - singular. Perhaps someone will recognize it as a very worn example, but I sort of doubt it. Hey! No fair editing it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Can you post some additional views and size like previously asked size. Do you know the age of deposits it came from? I'm also struggling seeing a vertebra with that shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What location, the NE is a pretty big area. There are Jurassic marine reptiles in the Jurassic parts. Doesn't look like a vert to me (vert or verts - keeps the pedants at bay ) John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
