ckmerlin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Hi all I think this is a small fish trunk vertebrae found in the carboniferous coal measures again although something about it says not fish vert hellllppppp !! I cant make up my mind with it being fragmented (the vert that is not my mind lol !! ) its only 3.22mm in width and is in cross section Edited April 25, 2013 by ckmerlin "A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind... or nothing at all' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Chris, I think you are correct - either a vertebrae, or the last vert in the line - the hypural. I'm thinking something similar to this pic. Well spotted! Add that to your growing list of fish bits. Keep them coming, mate.

Missourian Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Fish vertebra.... Very cool. Those certainly don't turn up that often in the Carboniferous. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
