Josh stout Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 My daughter found this at Big Brook NJ. It was loose at the bottom of the stream. I don't think it is a cow, horse or deer, but it could be pleistocene. I just joined the forum, and hope this works. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Mosasaur ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh stout Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 It certainly could be. I haven't seen examples from the neck area. I have seen a few worn examples from lower down the body, and they look more like disks with concave ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Great Mosasaur vert! Pretty hard to find one that nice in NJ. I’m not sure you’ll be able to ID the exact position, but it is definitely not a terminal vertebra. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
