GMR Bone ID (possibly Vertebre, Plesiosaur?)

Recommended Posts

Another weekend find, looks like a broken Vertebre - it's got a different shape to it, seems more oblong than round based on the shape of the half I have. Rick noted looks sort of like a Plesiosaur vert? If anyone can ID it from what fragment we have, that would be AWESOME and much appreciated! :) Let me know if you need more photos. 

 

Found: Greensmill Run, Greenville, NC. In a hole with an array/time span of things from cretaceous to native american artifacts (enchodus teeth, crow shark, shale bone, great white, giant white, modern tiger shark teeth and pottery. IMG_3110.JPG.c7b9df1430f4489dcb537a935fa1d928.JPGIMG_3111.JPG.e2c495af59a2ab122bdfd157cc38a12c.JPGIMG_3112.JPG.d08eb6085cd34eecbfa19c8e778df08a.JPGIMG_3113.JPG.f462f01a1f607ffa12b21caa954f2152.JPGIMG_3114.JPG.cb73b830cd0e57b4beb90445ab536279.JPGIMG_3115.JPG.70109ada5835fdc9b5c8df97585edc7c.JPG

I'm guessing there just isn't enough material here to confirm an ID? I've been looking still myself and can't really pin point anything other than it being part of a vertebre I believe.

I really think whatever it is you have, Ash; it is incomplete. Probably broken and badly worn.

 

However, sometimes when an item is seen in person details can emerge that cannot be seen in a picture. Sometimes this can help with an ID.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
