Cris Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a liiittle tiny vert to see if you guys can ID. I have ideas of what it could be, but nothing I'm going to mention...Any ideas? It's very obvious that it's ball and socket when you see it. Sorry about not getting a great pic of the other end...I had one, but for some reason it causes the forum to glitch when I upload it. It locks up the upload screen. (not over 2MB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 well, some articular and transverse processes are damaged or missing, so that hinders comparison/identification a bit. the spinous process is very tall for a snake, i would think. but the vert does seem kinda reptilian. the lack of wide transverse processes could mean it's maybe a cervical vert? with no neural canal/foramen? i'm guessing it's from a sail-necked lizard with no nervous system. <sigh> <his work here finished, tracer mounts his trusty dimetrodon and rides off into the vertebrate wilderness.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kauffy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 i would tend to go with snake, but i agree with tracer that the spinous process seems a bit too large...its either snake or lizard...
