Its from the Norfolk coast renound for mammalian fossils from Plioscene era. Mammoth springs to mind as it what I mainly find, foot bone or vert or what?

Xiphactinus Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Mammothhunter - It's a vertebra....it looks like a plesiosaur, not ice age. Is it stone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The Mammoth or Mastodon vert Cris has is flatter and much much bigger around, so this doesn't look like mammoth to me either but i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Xiphactinus, Yes it is mineralised and heavy. epoc is Cretacious through to pleostine hence why I assumed Mammoth as most finds are mammal and they to are mineralised.

Xiphactinus Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If the area stretches to the Cretaceous - I'll bet good money on Plesiosaur. Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
