This is a fossil dugong (Metaxytherium Floridanum) rib section that was recovered from the Peace River in the Bone Valley formation of Florida (Miocene Period, approx. 5-23 million years old). This example still has attached matrix material from when I recovered it. It looks exactly as it did when I pulled it from the ground - except for a very light brushing to remove loose material.
