Pterosaur limb bexhill uk

Hi tff

 

I can’t see this can be anything other than a pterosaur limb bone? 
 

when I first saw it I thought it may be a burrow, and checked in case there was a crustacean sat inside. 
 

early Cretaceous, bexhill uk, floodplain. About 20cm
 

apologies photos aren’t great

From photos it looks like there is a good chance of this being a pterosaur bone that is embedded in the concretion.

the bone thickness looks correct from photos but more bone needs to be exposed.

This would be well worth having prepped professionally or a least part to confirm bone as specimen if pterosaur is 3D not crushed.

The slight fragmentation on one end does look right to be thin bone.

Does indeed look very suggestive of pterosaur bone. Nice find! :D
