Optimist Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I found this today and I've never found one like it before. I hope you can help me out!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowsharks Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow, that's awesome. I've seen this before...from Lee Creek, and I'm pretty sure it's a fish vertebra from a Billfish. Awesome, I've never found one in many many years of collecting Calvert Cliffs. Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I agree with Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoSr Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've seen 4 or 5 Billfish rostrums but I've only seen Billfish vertebrae from Calvert Cliffs once before. Very nice find!

Optimist Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks for the identification. This is going right into the display case!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yup - these are often identifiable to the genus level. I recommend checking out Harry Fierstine's chapter in the Lee Creek III volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
