Yes, this much is fairly certain.

I missed this thread a few months ago. Here is my contribution. This is one of the coolest fossils I have ever found. It is an undescribed species from a Miocene deposit in eastern Wyoming. I donated it to my place of employment, the Tate Museum in Casper a few years ago and it is being described as something along the lines of a Miocene thrush.

I have a few samples of bird eggshells from the Eocene of western Wyoming and one tarsometatarsus from older Eocene beds, also in western WY, but I can't find those pix right now.

Well mine are not all neat and tidy wrapped up in an articulated plate.

"Roll the bones", these are all individual avian bones found while digging in the Temblor Formation at Ernst Ranch, Bakersfield, California.

Here's my contribution to this thread- a raptor (in the traditional sense) talon I found on the Peace River last year. It might be from a small hawk.

I think that might be an owl claw core....Owl, Raptor, gorgeous find either way!  Congrats

Thanks for the input! I don't know when I'll get down to Florida next but I hope to find more bird and land mammal fossils.
