Two more Peace River ID’s needed

[Meganeura]

So 2 more things I wanted to ask for IDs on. First is what I originally thought was Dugong bone - but now that it’s dried I can see concentric rings in it - which makes me think tusk? But no Schreger lines. The other is a piece of bone with an odd shape.

 

1) Possible tusk?

 

 

2) Bone

 

 

@Shellseeker @Harry Pristis Either of you guys know? Thanks in advance!

Sorry,  Daniel  I do not recognize them. I used to collect everything,  and have tried to stop keeping anything that I do not think others will be able to ID. 

Just a question of time... more time spent on barely identifiable fragments means less time for everything else..

That's totally fair! I'll probably reach that point one day - but for now while I'm still learning i'd much rather ask for IDs than pass up an ear bone or something cause i wasn't sure what it was! I appreciate you looking though.

Your last picture indicates bone fragment to me, but I couldn't get more specific than that.

 

@MeganeuraI have learned a lot the same way, by picking up everything and trying to ID it as well as possible.  At least twice I almost passed up two really neat pieces that I thought were junk at first.  It never hurts to take closer looks as long as you have the time.

Thank you! I figured it was bone, I just wish I knew what from. It’s a cool enough piece of bone that I’m going to keep it though, unlike the multitude of random chunks that I really have no clue about. 
 

And I agree completely - I nearly missed out on a few pieces of mammoth enamel thinking they were chert or mineral, having never seen fragments of a mammoth tooth before. Now I’ve found a whole bunch all because I decided to get them ID’d here!
