Unknown VERTEBRAE Venice


RescueMJ

Recommended Posts

Vertebrae from inland Venice, Florida.  Land find.  57mm wide x 75mm high. Side A to Side B measures 52mm. Pleistocene material found in this site.  I found a glyptodont osteoderm in this area last week. ID assistance appreciated. 

 

I am also looking for a "handy guide" on vertebrae identification.  If you can point the way that would help me with several other Vert I have recently found.  

-Regards

Heart-shape = manatee?

Hard to tell, but it seems to have some similarity to horse.

Check the width of you neural canal at 23 mm. This is not to imply any specific horse, just noting the similarities.external-content.duckduckgo_com.jpg.ebd1a2a0d5c7c73b1bd261b48ac3e1f5.jpghorsecervicalvertebraB.jpg.dfcc58ad782ca1ef610f820a029dd1f8.jpg.f657813158eed58f5c403a71723ae6c4.jpg
