Barasingha Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have three items I can use help with ID. All were found in a Miocene area. First I am thinking may be a very worn whale vertebrae. It is 2 3/4" X 2 1/4". The second and third look like teeth to me. The one on the right is 6/8" X 7/8". I was thinking bison or horse? The one on the left I really am not sure. I picked it up as shark and then looking at it have no idea. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Could you tell us where you found it ? Because the US are wide, mostly seen from Europe.

Vieira Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Those three are bone. The first one may be a fragment of a vertebra and the first in the second Picture may be a fish tilly bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
