Yan11 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi guys, I found this bone on the Bulgarian shore of the Black sea, near Balchik. In the region there have been found the remains of cetotherium sp., dolphins, seals, flamingos and others. I am wondering though what exact bone it is and of course of what. I thought that it may be a part of a fin or something like that, but I failed to find a photo of a bone like this. Any help for the identification will be very much appreciated! And happy soon to be new year!! Link to post Share on other sites
daves64 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I may be way off here, but it looks like it might be part of a pelvic bone. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Yan11 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think you are absolutely right!! The new picture that I am posting is of some modern seal pelvis and the shapes are exactly right!! Now I´m not saying that my fossil is from a seal for sure, but it´s definitely a part of a pelvis, THANKS! Link to post Share on other sites
daves64 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day (if I was right that is). And if I was actually right.. But I DO see a similarity between your fossil & the new pic. Link to post Share on other sites
