old bones Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Here are five new claws for ID please. These were all found in TFF member Sacha's new Merritt Island, Florida Pleistocene matrix. I have included the first one I found here again for comparison. Auspex said the #1 is "from a small species, possibly as small as a least bittern." There were several more claws in the matrix, but these were the most complete samples. It would be great if I could get IDs for them. Thanks for looking. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 #s 2, 3, 4, & 5 appear to be from the same (or closely related) non-avian species. #6 has something of an avian look, but at 2mm is way too small; guessing reptile?

Thanks for your input, Auspex. I am thinking that I will get no further than probable family, (Cricetidae), on 2,3,4,and 5. There is an enormous abundance of Sigmodon and Microtus teeth in this matrix. #6 will probably remain a mystery.... Neat claws, Julianna. I always like finding claws. Thank you Charlie. I agree, it is neat to find claws no matter their size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
