hemipristis Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Very interesting! I do believe the they're bone, but beyond that.. ? Until the bottom views I would have suggested vertebral processes or large fish fine spine (e.g., marlin), but the bottom views rule that out, I think. 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

They come from the tail section of an extinct billfish. I'll pull up the genus here in a sec. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 These processes originate near the hypural bone of the extinct Billfish Aglyptorhynchus sp. from the Oligocene. Cool find ! Ruler Image Credit: Rich Familia 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
