Ancient Bones Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Neat! A tarsometatarsus, and it looks old Thank you Auspex. What size bird do you think that the bone is from?

Al Dente Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nice photos. Your ray tooth in post #7 is most likely Plinthicus stenodon. They occur in the Oligocene and Miocene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think the snake vertebra in post #5 might not be from a snake. If it is, there has been a lot of damage and parts are missing. Could it be from a bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you Auspex. What size bird do you think that the bone is from? I was so pleased to find it! This is a subjective guess, but it seems stout of shaft, relative to it's extrapolated length, so I envision the bird to have been a small but sturdy swimmer; something like a Puffin. Sadly, none of the diagnostic features remain.

old bones Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nice photos. Your ray tooth in post #7 is most likely Plinthicus stenodon. They occur in the Oligocene and Miocene. Thank you Eric. I had a suspicion that's what it was. That is why I photographed the end view. I was hoping that you would look at it and confirm. Julianna I think the snake vertebra in post #5 might not be from a snake. If it is, there has been a lot of damage and parts are missing. Could it be from a bird? Hmmm, I wonder if anyone can tell from what is left of it. It looked to be in good shape, but I see what you mean that parts may be missing...
