Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone can tell me what this is… looks like a bone not sure if it is a fossil or not. Pieces fit together perfectly. Found near Canaan, NY.

From the pictures it appears to me to be a vertebra, but I'm not expert.

It's an epiphysis (growth plate) from the end of an immature animal bone. Almost certainly modern. Being such a small fragment, it's hard to say more.
