Anyone have any idea what this could be? I was smoothing Harley whilst she was snuggled up to me and found this on the top of her spine.

It looks similar to what my previous girl Billie had come up on the top of her head. I took her to the vets and they checked it out and said it was a wart. It never went away, she had it for the last few years of her life. Occasionally it would weep and then kind of scab over again, I just kept it clean and it didn’t bother her at all. It could be something like this, might be worth getting it checked out for your own peace of mind.

Sorry, haven't seen anything like that before. Could it be scab that has come off?

Looks a little like the warty thing on Lilly's head too but I agree the "crater" type bit is different.
In humanst "craters" can indicate low grade skin cancers, but I wouldn't necessarily think that's the same in dogs because both species have different types of skin issues.
Hope you can get a reassuring answer from your vet.

Is she trying to scratch it? Is it itchy? Spider bites sometimes leave a hole.
Snowie is coming up with so many warts. Our vet says if they’re cauliflower-type lumps on the surface of the skin, he’s not worried, they’re just warts. But wow, they are popping up all over. Apparently an age thing, but I also get worried with each new one. I hope this one on Harley is nothing. xxx

Homer has a couple of warts, one on the top of his head. It doesn’t bother him. He did have a funny wart between the pads on his foot that did need removing. Best to get it checked out especially if it changes or grows.
It looks like it might be a sebaceous gland that has become infected. It sounds like a good idea to send a photo to the vet.
