We found this in the Outer Banks at the beach washed up and weren’t sure what exactly it was. We took it to a local rehabilitation/educational aquarium to see if they could help figure out what it is. Some of them said it looks like some sort of vertebrae, but weren’t certain and suggested this app. I didn’t know if any of you knew, if you need more photos I will gladly provide some more.

This bone was found on the beach by someone and I'm trying to help identify it. The piece is roughly 5-6 inches across, roughly half an inch thick, and about 3 inches high in the middle point. I am led to believe this is part of a sea turtle carapace but I am not certain. Would love to see if anyone has any suggestions!

Breeding behavior? Flying individual hovered in one spot, only moving slightly up and down, with front legs held up and out, facing a perched individual in the vegetation (third and seventh photos). After holding this for about 30s, the flying individual approached the perched one and pounced on it. They flew off in a tangle, intermittently pausing on vegetation (fifth photo).
