Fin Lover Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Yes, it's a vertebra, but someone else will have to ID it for you. Edited May 26 by Fin Lover 2 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Measurements will be important to determine where it goes. . Height, width, etc. it looks like a lumbar with the transverse processes broken off. Kinda looks like a cow or bison but other members will be your best bet for a positive ID. Jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Tegs77 Posted May 26 Author New Members Share Posted May 26 Thanks, if you let me know where to measure from I can provide that. Were there bison in the uk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I apologize. Didn’t see your 15cm. Cow can be in that range. Probably too small for bison. During the Ice ages the North Sea was a grassland. Lots of bison, horses, you name it. Here is reference sheet on lumbar verts. I believe yours has that little angle/pitch to the lower/rear side. Which would make it the right shape for that part of the body. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
