Lone Hunter Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Reasonably sure it's not bone definitely not a vert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The shapes are reminiscent of the way cervical vertebra in some long necked animals interlock. That said, I have to agree that it does not have quite the texture of bone, and the morphology is not a close enough match for me to call it such. In other words; close, but no bone. Sorry.

Rockwood Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Have we seen this before ? I can suggest one more thing that it probably isn't. A weathered trace fossil Thalasanoides.
