A remarkable window into the deep past, this is a genuine fossilized vertebra from an American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) that roamed the southern United States between 2.5 and 5 million years ago. This specimen represents a lineage that has survived with minimal change over millions of years, outlasting many other ancient creatures of the Pliocene and Pleistocene Epochs.
