New Members Liz Human Posted June 3, 2022 New Members Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hello, I have been fascinated with rocks and have studied their forms my own my whole life but have no formal training so I am looking here for some guidance on some of the things I see and find. I will be learning from seeing what is posted and discussed here. Most of my current knowledge centers around ancient rock tools so this is a new area for me. I found wht I believe to be a mineralized vertebrae yesterday in Delaware on the beach. It is dense (ie heavier than it appears to be) nothing else similar to it on the beaches as far as rock type or shape. Curious what, if anything, might be determined from a few photos of it here. Thanks for the opportunity to connect here. I'm looking forward to seeing what people have found. So much out there to learn and discover! - Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Moved to FOSSIL ID. Welcome to the Forum. While I am not a bone expert, I don't think this is a vertebra. (Vertebrae is plural. ) Wait for some other opinions, though.

Carl Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I agree that it doesn't look like a vertebra. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
