Unknown Small bone

Recommended Posts

Hello All I have found this small bone in marine Cretaceous material from NW Queensland.

It is very small less than 5mm long it doesn't appear to be fish in nature( could be wrong thou)  and seems very small to be turtle.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

 

Update thanks to some great help it now appears that this is a small turtle phalange.

 

Cheers

Without the distal end(s) it going to be very hard to identify.  I think labeling it as "unidentified bone" would be just fine.
