Molliemeiii Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi guys, I joined so I could identify what I found! I was walking on the beach in southern Maine when I stumbled upon this circular disk. I think it’s a vertebra, but I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between shark and fish vertebra. Any info is helpful!! It’s so interesting. thumb nail for size! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This is a shark or ray centrum. Most, but not all, bony fish vertebrae will have processes the stick out of the centrum. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
