Petebeh Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hi all, a while ago I found a bone in Monmouth County, NJ. Most of the bone's length is worn, but the end surfaces appear to be in okay shape. Not sure if this is enough to ID, but does anyone have an idea? Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yes it's bone, but I wouldn't feel safe saying any more than that. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yeah, it's an abraded Plesiosaur vertebra, likely a thoracic. 3 “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...

You can still tell by the intricate bone structure, slightly concave faces, and size. There aren't too many reptiles found in New Jersey, so it is easy to narrow it down. 2 “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...
Petebeh Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm excited to find plesiosaur material even if it is in rough shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrodB Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's beat up but I would say plesiosaur also based on the examples I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
