Found this in a ditch in Summerville, SC. It seems like a vertebra but I’m unsure and could use some help. I don’t know the exact formation that ditch was but it could’ve been chandler bridge. The top corner is broken off.

Hi there ... this is a process near the hypural bone of an extinct billfish that is fairly common from the Chandler Bridge formation in Summerville. 

 

Cheers,

Brett

No worries.

Bullish is looking pretty extinct about now too. :)
