Some Non-shark Tooth Lee Creek Fossils

Recommended Posts

Here a few non-shark teeth fossils I've collected from the mine (gar scute, fish tail, porpoise

tooth, gill plate, etc.)

Any help on id'ing the bird bones would be appreciated. I know nothing

about bird bones, other than that they are bird bones. B):)

Thanks,

Eddie

First pic:

Longest bone; proximal portion of a carpometacarpus, with the features of a member of the Charidriiformes (shorebirds).

Second longest bone; proximal portion of a tibiotarsus, somewhat swan-like.

Anything more definitive will require good, close pics from all angles.

Thanks for the assistance! I'll try to get some more pics soon.
