lucas_ Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Hi, sorry if this is off topic, but I've found these "bones" on a beach in Italy yesterday. Do you know what it may be? They don't feel like strange pieces of wood Edited June 4, 2023 by lucas_ I wanted to add new photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltav2 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 It is bone but it does not look fossilised. I don't know what animal it could be from but probably something like a bird or someone had a barbecue. When bones get fossilised they get filled inside so they won't be hollow and usually they lose their white colour too and will be as heavy as a rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
