Hi, @james-parks – I am not too familiar with marine vertebrates. You are thinking this may also be a plesiosaur vertebrae? On our web-based platform you can add multiple images of the same specimen very easily – myfossil.org. Would you be able to take another view of the specimen? @jeanette-pirlo may be able to help some with further IDing. Talk…[Read more]

Thanks Jen! I’ve actually never seen a plesiosaur vert and have no way of distinguishing it other than looking online. I can say though that it doesn’t look whale-like so we can eliminate that option. Also the texture of the bone looks a bit turtley so I’d be game to say this is of a reptile. Depending on where it was found, it could better infor…[Read more]

Thanks for adding another photo @james-parks. I’ll try tagging in a few others and see what they say @vperez @smoran
@rnarducci-
Unfortunately, I don’t there is much I can add here. Locality could help narrow it down, but verts can be difficult to ID.

You must send these to Dr. David Schwimmer at Columbus state! Plesiosaur fossils are quite rare from the Blufftown Formation. That is a great specimen! I’m jealous lol.

Stewart County GA has a mixture of mostly marine Cretaceous but also has turned up some Pleistocene fossils including Mammoth Material. Can I post this image to Georgia’s Fossils FB page?
-
Absolutely! Thank you
-
@james-parks – is this the same as the previous post? We can combine the specimens into one – let me know if you need some help with that. Talk to you soon, Jen
-
@jbauer it is the same specimen I need to combine it with the other post.

Hi, @james-parks – where did you find this? I can’t really tell what it is… or if it is a fossil. The internal sediment being different is strange. Let me tag in @mackenzie-smith – who has really vast paleontological knowledge.
-
I’m stuck as well!

Hey, @jbauer It was found in the Calachy river in Stewart county Georgia
-
Hi, @james-parks – I really can’t think of anything it could be. For now my answer is ‘unknown’ but I can’t think of any fossils with that shape, so it may just be a really weird rock.

@james-parks Coral colony maybe?
I found this on the bank of the Grand river in Lansing Michigan
It’s a colonial coral, likely a Hexagonaria from the Devonian, although some Mississippian colonials look similar. It depends on what bedrock crops out in your area.
Thank you both very much!
Hi, @james-parks – If you want to add in the information from these comments into your specimen record that will help other users see your contributions! This is pretty easy to do on the website. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks, Jen
It’s called Thamnasteria. I found a piece several years ago and was told it is extinct fossilized coral dating back 200-250 million years ago. Hope this helps.
Thank you renee-reynolds
