MLC Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I found this on Blind Pass Beach in November 2019 Not sure what it is - I thought it looked like a bird wing but not sure. It is 5cm long 3cm wide and weighs 25 kg. Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I am not sure of any bones that would look like that, so I would bet it's geological and not a fossil. 25 kilograms is extraordinarily heavy for an object that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. I have to agree - this is geological in nature, and not fossil.

Mark Kmiecik Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Does not look like fossil to me, but I can only judge from the photos. Not the same as holding it in hand. Does not look like anything I am familiar with, but it is an interesting specimen. I would hang on to it for that reason alone. Join a rock/fossil club in your area and see what they think. Most earth sciences clubs have annual dues that are very affordable. It's definitely not bird wing -- if those were bones, they would be too robust for a bird unless it was built like an elephant and flew about as well. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
