hokietech96 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Hi. Wanted to see if anyone had an idea what these two items might be from. My sister in-law found them on a beach in Newport RI. 1. Looks like some type of tooth 2. Looks like some type of vertebrae. Any insight would be appreciated. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilus Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Number 1 looks like a partial horse molar. The second a "pork chop bone"? If the edges are flat they were likely processed (sawn?) by a meat processing plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark57 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Both of these look modern to me. I don't get a vertebra feel from the bone. I don't see a neural arch or the expected symmetry. (FYI, the proper term here is "vertebra", "vertebrae" is the plural form). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
