Fossildude19 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Looks fishy, ... to me. Wait for some more opinions, however.

Rockwood Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't know. That texture could go tetrapod. Is the other end in better shape ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstimson29 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Looks like a tetrapod phlanges (toe bone). Age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry maness Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 It was found on a beach in the Wando River near Charleston SC. The oldest material we have here is late Oligocene. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, I agree with Fossildude - looks like a fish vert. The articular surfaces (The "holes" or concave surfaces on the ends are usually a dead giveaway, but they are covered in marix. The bone texture reminds me of fish bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
