JaxRBetter Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi all, I found 3 interesting things on my last day at Onslow Beach NC. They look like some sort of bones to me. One I think is a vertebrae. Of what??? I’m hoping you all can tell me. It looks like 3 is the limit on sending pics so I will have to do several posts. If there is information on posting that I should know please point me there as well. I saw something about using the “photo FAQ-page to learn about posting but couldn’t find it. Thank you in advance. Bone 1... Vertebrae? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 pix are too dark. I can see just a black shape. But the middle photo hints at being vertebral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Welcome to the Fossil Forum from Texas They do look like vertebrae. The trick to uploading more pics at once is emailing them to yourself to reduce the size. When I hit the send button on my phone it asks how big I want the attachments to be. 3.95 mb or less is the trick. Yes they’re a bit dark. Looks like they got sprinkled with a bit of that Folgers.

KimTexan Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 My very first ID post on the forum I learned vertebra is one vertebra. Vertebrae is the plural form. I assume those are 3 pics of the same vertebra. Not 3 different vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxRBetter Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Thank you for the hints on sending the pictures, and for being patient with a real novice. Yes it is the same fragment, no to the Folgers... that’s all for me. Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bones Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Looks similar to the small cetacean vertebrae that I find at the beach in S.C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Onslow Beach is mixed in age but is well known for its Oligocene fossils. This vert is noteworthy for sure. Boesse needs to have a look at this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boesse needs to have a look at this one. I agree. At first glance I said dolphin, but with the chance of it being Oligocene, I say that with hesitation.
