Mctapmonkey Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hello, Everyone. This is another sample from Runswick Bay on Yorkshires Jurassic Coast. I'm hoping that someone will tell me that is a paddle bone from a marine reptile. All replies gratefully recieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Could be a bone, but I’d dont see any bone structure on these pictures. If you see this, then it is probably a bone. As for the paddle part, I’ll wait for a local to tell you about that. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I does look like a paddle bone, right shape. It is a little thick in ratio to the length/width for an ichthyosaur, well mine examples tho. I’d really need to handle it to be sure. I’m 65/35 in your favour Why not not take it to Byron Blessed at the Whitby fossil shop, he’ll know. Nice guy. 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctapmonkey Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks John, I'm down in Hertfordshire (rubbish for fossil hunting) but may be able to catch up with Byron at one of the Oxford fossil fairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 You could send it to me and I’ll have a look. You’d need to cover postage both ways tho. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
