jonasdk Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I found it on the coast of the island Mors in Jütland (Denmark). It looks like a vertebra or something like that. It's 2,5 cm long. Can you help me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Looks like a fused vertebrae column in matrix to me. Lets see what the others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Fish verts; probably. How would you distinguish from the picture between "fused" and simply "articulated"?
