Meganeura Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 So was sorting some older fossils and came across this one - originally I had it in my “random bone bits” drawer - but it looks relatively complete albeit somewhat worn. My initial thought was something similar to an astragalus - some kind of joint. Wondering if an ID might be possible. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @Brandy Cole Fossils? I dig it.

Brandy Cole Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Third picture reminds me of the top of a broken vertebra, but it would all depend on where the breaks are.

I can kinda see that, actually - but I'm genuinely not sure how much is broken - my take was there was no real breaks, just bits worn down. Fossils? I dig it.

It is all in how you twist and turn the fossil... I am of the mind that it is an Axis, all beaten up.... 1 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
