MikeR Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) About 25 years ago I received some isolated mammal bones from Florida in which I was told were mostly (and I emphasize mostly) from Leisey. The bone pictured does not have the same patina as the ones that I do believe are from the Bermont Formation. Any help in its identification is most appreciated.

Harry Pristis Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I guess you know that it is a vertebral process from a stout critter. You could guestimate the size of the missing vertebral body, and start eliminating Pleistocene large mammals. Maybe someone else will recognize it, but I don't. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Honestly it was so worn that I did not recognize it as a vertebral process but now that you have pointed it out I can see that.
