Bill Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Here are some broken bones from the Ypresian of Abbey Wood London. They are hollow, bird and mammal bones, including bats have been found there, along with shark, shell and fish remains, these dont look like typical fish bones though. First bone fragment is 14mm long, the closeups are 10mm field of view. KOF, Bill. Welcome to the forum, all new members www.ukfossils check it out.

Bill Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks Auspex, It's easy to say this "after the fact" but that's what I thought, Cheers. I think #3 is unidentifiable, but I had to try. I have some others to photograph and will post when done. KOF, Bill. Welcome to the forum, all new members www.ukfossils check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 #1 is quite "ducklike", but there is so little material to compare it to...
