Mystery Vertebrae

[joshfriel]

I found a very clean vertebrae on a beach in South Korea. It was in an area with debris that had been washed ashore. However, it could be from an aquatic or a terrestrial animal. Does anyone have any ideas what animal it could be from, or another source I could look to?

The measuring stick is in centimeters.

From the looks of it, I think it probably belongs to an animal in the phylum "Chordata".

I did a search for genus "Cordata." The closest thing I found is some tree species with the word Cordata in them.

If you meant "chordata," the phylum name, then i would agree with you. Since only chordates have vertebrae.

If anyone could give me even a family, that would be a start.

Thanks in advance.

Watching Vertebrae I can say..
The animal should be less than 3 ft.
