jbenn57 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I found this vertabrae at the beach of Fort Clinch on Amelia Island Florida, which sits at the delta of the St. Mary's and Amelia Rivers in that area. My initial thought was perhaps dolphin/porpoise that was worn down. Can anyone offer some insight into the possible origin of this specimen?

Shellseeker Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Here is a good reference: You can also search for Caudal Verts from modern dolphins to see what the complete bone looked like. https://www.fossilguy.com/sites/calvert/calv_vert.htm 1 hour ago, jbenn57 said: Can anyone offer some insight into the possible origin of this specimen? If you are asking, which species of dolphin, I do not believe it is possible to differentiate. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
