Rockwood Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieira Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 By the picture for me looks like a worn fish vertebra indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 The density and texture do seem more like tooth than fish bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieira Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think it is fish vert. I keep my guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think it is a heavily mineralized fish vert. I think there is a chance it could be shark or ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Carl Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Same fauna, same reaction. This is almost certainly a fish vert. Possibly a ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That vertebrae is definitely a worn Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis vert. if it was found from a late Cretaceous formation. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
