Vertebra?


Lagartixa

Recommended Posts

Found it at the Trinity River in Fort Worth Texas. Is it Pleistocene and wich bone and animal is it from? About 10 cm.

I think it's safe to say that we can eliminate mouse, shrew, and squirrel.  Beyond that I can't offer any more help. :thumbsu:

It seems to be "ball and socket" configuration. Maybe something crocodilian? 

Out of my forte'  ( not that I especially have one to be out of! )

I'm terrible with Pleistocene but cool find.

You most definitely found some time of vertebra! I can't tell you what it is but i will congratulate you on finding that!

It's most likely a bison dorsal vertebra.  I just found one and everyone had to identify.  Luckily mine were nearly intact so I was able to  identify which specie it belonged to.  Yours is badly worn so maybe hard to determine the exact species.
