hahnewald Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I collected this piece washed up onto my beach where I have previously found anything from Miocene fossil shark teeth, acheulean period stone tools to Pleistocene horse teeth. It has an interesting symmetrical shape and reminds me of a wolf's face. Not that easy to photograph. Photos below are of all 'sides'. Any help with ID would be fantastic. Thanking you in advance.

Fossildude19 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It is awfully flat, with articular surfaces. Maybe a knee bone from a large mammal.

fossilus Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Looks like the centrum of an axis vertebrae. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I can certainly see where you are imagining the face of a wolf. That feature in itself makes this a very cool piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
