dragonsfly Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like a partial human sacrum to me. Compare to images on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Mud Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Can you provide us with some idea of scale? Whatever it is it doesn't have a fossilised look about it. Looks fairly recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleoworld-101 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Certainly does look like part of a sacrum, fingers crossed it turns out to be animal of some kind and not human... Edit- Just noticed your location, may I ask where in Australia? "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessie1984 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 OMG AND OMG and I aint touching it again to measure its approx. 10cm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Its the "tailbone" on us, if its human. Not saying it is, and i understand the EWW thing if it is! I wouldnt touch it either haha "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - Saint Augustine"Those who can not see past their own nose deserve our pity more than anything else."

Ash Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Im saying its not Human actually. The gaps are way too big, going from this image. But then again, could be an age thing.

mrieder79 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Definitely not human. Neural foramen are too large and the sacral body is too small. Not enough segments to be human either.
