Dear Zooarch folk,
This bone comes from a site in southern Ontario, Canada. It looks like
Sparidae that I have seen from California and the Aegean which seems a
little crazy considering where it was found. Perhaps it is not a fish.
I am at a loss and would really appreciate other opinions. I have put
the photos up on zoobook with the links below (along with two modern
examples of Sparidae to give you all an idea of where I was heading).
All the best,
Thanos
