Hi all, my family offered me a fossil but they have no information about it, except the fact that it's from Madagascar.

I know you can't do miracles but the tiniest knowledge about it could be great 👍 

Many thanks in advance !

Probably a vertebra cut in half, I can’t say more.

Vertebra are not really a diagnostic bone.

Best that can be said is that it was a piece of a vertebra, from a fairly large creature.  :shrug:

Adding to that,  without precise locality info, it becomes much more difficult to identify further.

Ok, I contacted the seller, and accordig to him it's from mid jurassic to late cretaceous formations of madagascar, and probably from a sauropod Lapparentosaurus, Rapetosaurus or Archaeodoutosaurus . Do you think it's coherent ?
