Max-fossils Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi everyone! I received this vert from the Natuurhistorisch Museum Rotterdam. It was in a big box with many other fossils fished from the North Sea (Pleistocene). The size of the vert makes me think of rhino or bison, even possibly mammoth. I asked already on Fossiel.net and they said it could be a chest vert from a bovid or a horse. But no definitive answer came up... What do you all think?

LordTrilobite Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looks like a dorsal vertebra roughly in the middle towards the back. I also think it looks a little small. I don't have my reference handy right now so going by the Horse might be a good candidate. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
