Recommended Posts

I can't figure out what kind of bone that is and what kind of animal it belongs. It is probably part of fish, amphibia, but maybe it can be pray of bird that was flying over a lake and drop it... Please someone help me...post-14318-0-75586900-1390654948_thumb.jpgpost-14318-0-72644500-1390654941_thumb.jpgpost-14318-0-35449400-1390654859_thumb.jpgpost-14318-0-98528800-1390654625_thumb.jpgpost-14318-0-09122000-1390654607_thumb.jpgpost-14318-0-80432100-1390654574_thumb.jpg

Wow, that is very interesting looking. Parts of it do look fishy, but other parts, not so much. I can't wait to hear what it may be. It looks recent to me, though, not fossilized.

It appears to be a stick, with some sort of plant growth on it, like algae or moss or something.

Maybe a part of fish gill?

I've looked again, it is smaller than I first thought so a fragment of a gill is a possibility. A clear picture with a ruler next to it might help.

I think you're on to something JohnJ: http://research.kahaku.go.jp/zoology/Fishes_of_Libong/intro03.html

Scroll down just a tad for a fish gill image.

It definitely looks fishy to me as well. The pointy structures that seem to overlap on the side opposite the hair like structures remind me of Cow Shark teeth. Im not suggesting that this is from a shark, only that it looks to me like it is from a water dwelling animal. Link In the image, note the similar round circle like shapes in A that are similar to the photo.

Looks to me like adventitious roots of the kind produced by climbers such as ivy and many semi-aquatic plants found in shallow water.
