Hello,

I found this beauty in Post Oak Creek last week; and I have absolutely no Idea what this vertebrae could be from. I am used to finding various shark/fish verts in the creek, but nothing such as this. Help!

Post oak creek is in Sherman, Tx.

Cretaceous, Gulf Series - Upper Eagle Ford, Lower Austin Group.

I'll attach more pics below

In my opinion, maybe a plesiosaur vertebra?

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Very eroded. But I'd say that looks like reptile. And I agree that plesiosaur might be a good match.
