Ash Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey guys. Still working on this one but hoping someone can tell me what the heck it is? No idea.

ynot Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Wishbone from a really big bird. Nice find. Tony PS Sorry I can not help with an ID. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

JohnJ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Maybe some kind of spinous process.... 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 A nurse said "maybe something to do with the spine?" So possibly on to something there. Just need to work out where and what! It's a noggin' scratcher.

Peat Burns Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm probably way off, but it reminds me of part of the neural arch and dorsal process of a vertebra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 By golly i think you're right!

Doctor Mud Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That's the only thing I could think of too - a neural arch from a vertebra. Looking at skeletons from Australian Pleistocene fauna and the scale of your find, I was thinking something like Diprotodon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just trying something here. Here's a 3D model of a Diprotodon in the form of a point cloud in SketchFab. Shame its not so useful in closeup as it is a point cloud. It would make for useful reference material if you could convert the point cloud into a surface. From what I've seen on here I'm sure someone in the TFF community would know how to do this...... https://sketchfab.com/models/5e103923ef904d6cabe3f1b1104ddfd3/embed [sketchfab]5e103923ef904d6cabe3f1b1104ddfd3[/sketchfab]Diprotodon optatum by CVAST on Sketchfab Embedding didn't work, but you can follow the links to see a 3D model that you can rotate here's a screen shot. I wonder if the vertebral processes would be big enough?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooth_claw Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yep! Partial Diprotodon Thoracic vertebra. This one looks to be early in the series as I think I can see the tell tale signs of a bifurcated neural spine.You can just see them behind the scapula in Dr Mud's 3D image above. They make a little 'Y' shape on the point of the process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Many thanks, everyone!
