Anyone know what this is? - Grahambo - 04-01-2014
I have one more item I am not sure of. I realize this is not a shell but figured beach combers might know what this is. I believe it is a bone and it could just be a random bone or even part of chicken wing but figured I would see if anyone new anything about it. I does not appear to be broken.
Thanks for any help on this.

This is a fish vertebra, with the dorsal and ventral spines attached. (also called neural and hemal spines)
