Look at this gorgeous thing! I think it’s something like a shark vertebrae? Found on the Dutch coast (near Katwijk). Can anyone help identify this? Boosts very much appreciated, I’m so in love with this pretty little thing.

@HeliaXyana@mastodon.nl Sharks are cartilaginous fishes, so no, not a shark, unless these vertebrae are fossilized. They don't look that way though. Some big fish like cod or wolffish perhaps.

@HeliaXyana@mastodon.nl Are fish bones that porous? Porous bones make me think of birbs.
