Chippewa Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 There is a lot of Dugong fossils where this vertebra was found, but I don't think it is Dugong. Santa Fe River find. Some breakage and lots of erosion. I can send more photos - just ask if it helps. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It is a Dugong vertebra because it has a heart shape. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippewa Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well that settles that - Thank you for that. I have found other vert's that look much different than this one but have an even more distinct heart shape - do some other species have the heart shape also?

Mark Kmiecik Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Very nice find. Congrats. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
