Steelheadtracker Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 These are some of the nicer bones from the beach. Im assuming the one nearest the quarter is a vertebrae and the other 2 im unsure about. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 These may be too worn to make any definitive ID.

Troodon Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I agree. A lot of the material that washes ashore are from cetaceans so your bones may be from that group of marine mammals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I agree with the others. These are so worn by the action of the surf that they are beyond identification, other than to say they are probably bone. That is so often the case with beach finds, the tumbling action of the surf is not kind to anything that enters it's zone. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I agree.

CraigHyatt Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Man, your post made me a little home sick. I was out collecting this morning and there some big pools left by recent rains (this part of South Texas is a desert). I saw these little brown and white birds running around and giving the same cry I remember from the NC beaches. These are the birds that run in and out with the waves and have a high pitched cry. It was a breezy morning, so the only thing missing was the waves. :-) 1 Info: Craig Hyatt, retired software/electrical engineer Experience: Beginner, fossil hunting less than a year Location: Eagle Pass, TX USA on the border with Mexico, hot dry desert Formation: Escondido, Marine, Upper Cretaceous Materials: Sandstone, Mudstone, Shale, Chert, Chalk Typical: Thalassinoides, Sphenodiscus, Exogyra, Inoceramus Reference: http://txfossils.com/Txfossils.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
