Rob_wr Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Hello, We are wondering if this is simply a unique formation or ancient bone. It was found in a dried up section of riverbed near BC Alberta border. There appears to be evidence of potential talon scrapes and concretion formation (which seems to be mirrored on opposite sides)in a ligament or muscle attachment point. there is a concave curved side and a flat section opposite that reflects the same size and shape. It tapers from one thick end to a thinner curved/concave shape. Does anyone have a better idea as to what this is or what it might belong to? Could this be collagen based? Body armour perhaps? Thanks in advance for your input. R Edited March 5, 2021 by Rob_wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_wr Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 It’s the shape that is so intriguing to us. It has concave/convex shape to both sides. So interesting... if it’s not bone or keratin growth, I’m wondering how did it get such a shape. Thank you for your insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
