Mico Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi folks! I've just joined the forum and need some help to identify this fossil bone. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 No idea but it's a great chunk. It will help the experts if you could give as much information about you're find as possible especially an accurate location.

Mico Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thank you for your comment John. It was found on the sands of Joaquina Beach, Island of Santa Catarina, sourthern Brazil. Unfortunately, no context other than that. https://www.google.com.br/maps/place/Praia+da+Joaquina/@-27.6295832,-48.4493821,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x95273c38419b2c05:0x48dfaa94905c943f?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I cannot place it, even though the shape is fairly distinctive.

Mico Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hey Auspex! Thanks for your comments too. I have a friend here in Brazil who's also a bird watcher. He made wonderful posters of the birds from the different Brazilian biomas. I recommend them! Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm not a bone guy, but that wicked twist in this piece leads me to believe it may not be a structural bone, but rather a horn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
