Pixpaleosky Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hi, I found years ago this (probably dinosaur) bone in cretaceous beds located in Southern France. These layers contain dinosaur, crocodile and turtle bones. It is about 8 cm / 3 inch long Would you have any idea oh what it is ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am of mixed opinion on this piece. Can You take some close up pictures of the surface? Also some pictures of the ends, please?

Innocentx Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This has the look of spongy bone material. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Could you be more precise in your location ? That should help, moretheless if you can get the brgm's notice of that location because according to the different layers, they give a list of the fossils that can be found, even if non exhaustive.

caterpillar Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 That's bone for sure but too fragmented to identify http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixpaleosky Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) yes for sure it is bone. It is dated from Maastrichian of Provence area and is damaged because it deposited in a river. Other pictures would not help because the other sides are even more damaged. It seems this one will remain unidentified Edited August 22, 2017 by Pixpaleosky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
