Vallejo police said Tuesday that a mysterious vertebrae left on the station doorstep Sunday is not human.
Why and how it got there is still a mystery.
But the Solano County Coroner's determination that the piece of bone does not belong to a human does away with any need for a homicide investigation, according to Vallejo police Sgt. Jeffrey Bassett.
The bone, the size of a cookie, was discovered about 11 a.m. under a call box at the station, prompting an inquiry and the thorough examination of a pathologist.
Now that the bone has been deemed to have belonged to an animal, authorities say it will be disposed of.
