LiamL Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I would go for rostrum (jaw bone) from the picture. It's hard to know from what but probably ichthyosaur. Which beach did you find it at? 1 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I once found a similar piece in Lyme Regis that I've since labelled as rostrum, due to a deep gully in the middle of the segment. I would still like to see the cross-section of this specimen before calling it rostrum, though, as I feel rib could also still be a viable option.
