I found this fossil vertebra a while ago. I dubbed it simply as “shark vertebra” and left it at that and didn’t dig any deeper. It was found in the Fyansford formation in Beaumaris, Victoria in Australia. The age is (correct me if I am wrong) 10-5 mya. If it is not too much to ask, does anyone know the species?

It's a Scyliorhinoid type shark, but I don't think verts are diagnostic beyond that.
