Max-fossils Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi all, Same as the other one (North Sea; Pleistocene). I'm thinking piece of antler of a deer (Megaloceras?).

LordTrilobite Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's definitely a piece of bone. I don't think it's antler. What I think you have is a lateral process of a lumbar vertebra. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Might be. There's quite a lot of reference on North Sea mammals on the internet so I would just start to look at every lumbar vertebra I can find. I have woolly rhino and bison lumbar vertebra in my collection. But those are hidden away in boxes at the moment. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a PDF document that will surely be useful, but unfortunately it's 205 MB large. So here's a link. Click on the second link to have the full PDF document.
