"Fish" bone from Penn. Naco Formation?

Recommended Posts

HI all,

 

A fantastic fossil expedition yesterday up on the foothills of the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona in the Pennsylvanian Naco formation.  Besides the hordes of corals we picked up for the acid bath, I found this large piece of bone material in rather large rock eroding out.  It is no doubt bone, since it also passes the "lick and stick" test well.  The unique cupped end might make it easier to identify.  We gravitate toward invertebrates and plant material, however we wont pass up on a nice sharks tooth or bone fragment if we find it in such deep water marine material!  What are your thoughts?  We covered it up and marked the spot so we can go back at some point and try to extract it if warranted.  I did my best to get a clear shot of it, and think I did well considering its a small hand held digicam.
