Bird long bones from Uppermost Pleistocene of Lithuania
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, I have collected several interesting bird long bones in the sand dune layers of Varena town, South Lithuania. Judging by the local stratigraphy and history, the sand in varena town is formed in the last glaciation (25- 10 thousand years ago), so there in my bone finds can be some bird genera that do not live in the Baltic Region today. If someone is familiar with ornithology, please take a look and help me to identify bird taxa. Any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas At first, I show tibiotarsus fragment of possible big vulture (the largest width in articular part is 2 cm) -
Dear Guys, Yesterday I found one premolar tooth that is 1,7 cm width and 3,5 cm length with root. The tooth was found in the sand dune layers of Varena town, South Lithuania (it is the Baltic States, Eastern Europe). Judging by flattened end and the vertically twisted relief of tooth I would think that the most possible should be Irish elk because the premolar teeth in its lower jaw looks almost the same. Please confirm this find or suggest your ideas, any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas
