TonyC Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Found this vertebra over the weekend on Folly Beach, SC. Is this from a shark or a bony fish? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Agree with shark. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

FossilSniper Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 +1 for shark. (even with my limited vertebrae knowledge ) Measurements would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yeah shark, not lamnoid. Likelihood is that it’s carcharinus sp. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 + about 5 for shark! That's a nice looking vert! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amateur Paleontologist Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Pliosaur vertebral centrum… Just kidding , I'd agree on shark vertebra. Neat one, by the way! Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...
