Allosaurus Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't know what the species could be, but it looks like some kind of vertebrae possibly? Anyone else? The right side appears to have a portion that is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiphactinus Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It's a fragment of fish bone (you can tell from the texture). From a big fish obviously....not sure beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Awesome guys thanks. I agree. It does look fishy to me as well. North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truceburner Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What distinguishes a fishy texture in this case? Genuinely curious, as it looks similar to some fossil bits I ascribed to mosasaur. The cracked surface does seem different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 the layered/laminated texture of the bone indicates fish.

Auspex Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What distinguishes a fishy texture in this case? Genuinely curious, as it looks similar to some fossil bits I ascribed to mosasaur. The cracked surface does seem different. Flaky layers, which seem somewhat translucent.
