It is a humerus bone of Plesiosaurus ?
caimano posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all, could someone confirm to me that this bone is a plesiosaurus humerus? Here are some useful data: Upper Cretaceous, Turonian, Akrabou Formation Location - Morocco, Goulmima region, Asfla Dimensions - 365 x 185 x 112 mm Weight: 3.22kg Thank you. -
A large broken bone...this belonged to a fossil collecting neighbour here in the UK. It is huge but sadly broken into 3 pieces. It is approx. 20 inches long and 7 inches at the widest point. I don't know where it is from. I'd love to know what it is and if I should just leave it as it is or repair it in some way. Someone suggested that it might be a mammoth humerus. Many thanks!

We found this bone while on a walk on the beach next to our home. We recently had a series of storms that surged through the seawall and tore it apart, as well as sent a lot of things downstream. This was just to the right of a rumor river mouth run off on the beach can you help me figure out what it is? There are tons of fossils in the area in the cliffs at her usually shells and small sea animals but I have never seen anything resembling something coming from a mammal before especially the size. I'm also curious how old it may be because it's fossilized.

Last spring I found the below bone "ball joint" in the Peace River, FL. I consolidated it for preservation and have been trying to come up with a possible species ID ever since. I think I have narrowed it down to being the tip of a mammal humerus, but can't seem to get any further. Part of the problem is I can't find any photos or diagrams that provide measurements for the "ball joint" of any specimens I have looked at. All have overall measurements for the humerus but nothing focused on the joint. Measurements on the joint: Overall top of the "ball" = 60mm x 45mm Bone measures 55mm tall by 45mm wide Fits very comfortably into the palm of my hand and would make a great and interesting top for a cane. Any ideas on species would be appreciated, Thanks!

Live in London and found this in the Thames recently. I'm guessing it's a humerus of some kind of animal but I can't fit it against pictures I can find on the Internet. Any ideas. Also no idea how old it is.
