St. Joseph Museums

The image displays a fossilized jawbone fragment with teeth, labeled as belonging to a vertebrate. The fossil appears to be partially preserved, exhibiting a textured, light brown surface characteristic of ancient bone material. Below the fossil, a handwritten note on a piece of paper provides identification details. The note includes a sequence of numbers "785/18334" and "1345" encircled, possibly cataloging the fossil within a collection. The inscription describes the item as "Fossil/Vertebrate" and specifies "jaw bone/partial/teeth," indicating its nature and condition. The background is a plain, dark surface that highlights the fossil and note, suggesting a controlled, perhaps museum-like setting.
