diabeticwolf Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello, I found these today in my grandmother's front yard among 4-tons of river rock she recently had installed. I believe they are bone fragments, but I was hoping to get some opinions (if I guessed right). I'm still learning, but I try my best. The first four photos are the same piece from different angles.

diabeticwolf Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I believe this is another bone fragment, but I'm unsure which bone it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabeticwolf Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 The first three are the same piece, the last one is a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diabeticwolf Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 The first two sets look very turtleish. Any idea what they could be? The second almost looks likes a scapula, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 To be honest I don't know the terminology. What inspired my comment as it relates to the second set was the shell attachment points as seen in this modern Terrapin. The bubbly texture in the first set is commonly assigned to turtle shell. I understand there are other less common possibilities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
