Ornithurae Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Found this in Capitola CA, definitely doesnt feel like modern bone imo. Any idea who it is? ~5in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It looks like a neural spine from a vertebra. ID beyond that is likely difficult. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I agree - neural arch. @Boesse Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Boesse Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Neural spine for sure - looks like a cetacean bit that weathered out of one of the softer boulders at the site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If it burns and stinks then it's modern. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) If you tap it with something metal, what sound does it make? Edited January 28, 2023 by Brandy Cole For clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
