Trb1474 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I found this on the beach in Eastern Maine. I was wondering if anyone could identify it. I thought it might be a spinous vertebrae of a large mammal. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Can We see other views of this piece? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trb1474 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think that the top part may have been gnawed on a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Close up pics of the vertebra body itself would be helpful (spinous process need not be included). Pic 4 it almost looks like this side of the vert is concave, but maybe it is just flattish. Is it fossilized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
