saysac Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is one I found this summer, and I am told it is bone. I have found large fish scales and a small fish there. Any thoughts as to what it could be from? Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Could be a vertebra. Unfortunately the most diagnostic features would be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hey Sherry, I'm with Chris on this one. I vote for fish cleithrum as well. Great find.

saysac Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Must go fishing again....but in my case, I need to have no or little water.... I had to go through a few of my fossils about a week ago and came across ones I have forgotten! Thank you all again for your help, and maybe the bone belongs to the one I collected those large fish scales from! I was also told this "glob" is bone. It has no definition so will not be able to be identified, but.....still bone. Looking at these under a microscope is amazing! My son got my a magnifying light for Christmas, and I combined that with a nice magnifying glass and got some amazing detail also. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sherry yes I love fishing too especially for the type of fish we find its great to look at specimens with a magnifying device I use a USB microscope wich allows me to take photos and videos. I bought it from ebay so it wasnt too expensive Its a good possibility that the bone came from a fish that had the same type of scales you have found at your site good look with the fishing best regards Chris 1 "A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind... or nothing at all' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
