Vertebra

Recommended Posts

I've had this a while now but sort of dismissed it as a badly worn fish vert.. I haven't been able to find any evidence that seems to confirm it. In fact the closest match I find isn't supposed to be there.

Biconcave ?

Sorry, My eyes are not completely open yet.

After looking closer would say it is a fish vert, but to worn to id.

The density and texture do seem more like tooth than fish bone.

That is a byproduct of the preservation and wear.

Hey Rocky: Is this from Big Brook? I definitely see a fish vert.

I know I should be ashamed to admit I'm not sure. It could be from Ramanessin. The denticles and a ray tooth are, come to think of it. 

Uh,I tagged it with you in mind ;)

That vertebrae is definitely a worn Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis vert. if it was found from a late Cretaceous formation.
