LeviBess Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hello, i post here again to see if someone could help me identifying this bone I found at the beach called Les Roches noires in France. It's a 4 km long beach with a sliding coastline with sedimentary deposits. The bone is heavy and past the "burn-test", in this area I think its Jurassic-Cretaceous layers but I'm not sure, anyway this bone obviously seems more recent than that. I found it jamed in between two rocks near the clay deposits. Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, My best guess is domestic dog proximal tibia. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So worst case scenario I brought someone's dead dog home...great. This bone was found in the same place, any thoughts? Could they be the same animal?

Harry Pristis Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Pelvis. Could be dog, but could be other mammal. Dog acetabulum (the socket) height is about an inch (2.25 cm). http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not smell anything when i burn it and its heavy (both pièces) . The second bone is 11 cm on the longest aide so its big.But domestic dog..could it even be fossils then?

Ash Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 @Harry Pristis how do you tell it’s that be wolf? (On first bone)?

By size -- the average wolf is larger than the average dog. 6 hours ago, krabbhus said: Thank you for your answer. Okey, so how old would this be you think?

The pelvis is a good-size bone, even in a dog. The 11 cm length of the fragment is not helpful. Measure the acetabulum as I suggested. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, this is all very sketchy guesswork. The best thing is to find a comparative collection to match your bones with known species. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
