Cretaceous Bird found 7-11-17 at 4.5 mm quite small but still a good find.

Cave hyena Crocuta foot bones.

These were found Tornewton cave in Devon uk, probably back in the 1950s. 

 

Interesting.  I think that third bone from the top is a scapholunar.

If you provide more views of each bone, some of us can identify them if you haven't already.  I've seen only a few cave hyena teeth - great to see some bones.

Thank you @siteseer when I get the chance today  I will take you up on that kind offer. I will lay them out in the same order . I also have some teeth too.

I have 2 of these from the North Sulphur River Texas. They are Pleistocene but I'm not sure what they are from. Both are around 2 1/2 inches long.

My, Grandma, what big FEET you have! 

 

Really cool fossils everyone, I'm jealous 

 

I'll add one of mine in just for the fun of contributing:

 

Horse proximal phalanx

Equus cf ferus

North Sea (fished)

Late Pleistocene; 40'000 years old

Received from the Natuurhistorisch Rotterdam Museum

Is that including the tibia and fibula? Also beautiful piece.

My only claw unidenified reptile, hells creek.

Falcarius foot.

[Mike from North Queensland]

I thought I would try for the smallest toe bone as theirs no way I will have the bigest.

This again should be a Cretaceous bird toe bone.

I was going through some fine material looking to see if I could find the other half to another toe bone and found this complete specimen.

Measuring in at 2.5 mm hence the little bit blurry photos with the usb microscope.

Hi @siteseer thanks for the kind offer  of an ID on my hyena foot bones . I have added a picture if you need more images I can do them tomorrow.

Cheers Bobby

I really like this thread it is very interesting and a bit different .

I would like to add a gift from my wife many year ago.

A DIMETRODON CLAW from WAURIKA, OKLAHOMA

it is a favourite of my mine . It is small but it  has still got some nice detail . One day I hope to get a tooth from a Dimetrodon to add to my claw.

Now thats cool!

I'll add some proximal phalanges and an ungual from the Isle of Wight, UK. These are from the Bouldnor Formation (33 million years old, Oligocene) and come from bothriodont anthracotheres. Mammals that pretty much looked like a cross between a hippo and a pig. First couple of shots as found. The largest measures 4.3 cm long.

Hi,

 

Here are three that I have found.

Anoplotherium - left fourth metatarsal bone. I.O.W

Hippo toe bone also from I.O.W west

Croc toe bone from I.O.W. west

Croc toe bone from Thorness Bay I.O.W

 

 

 

Good to see another Bouldnor collector, nice finds, though i believe the third photo down is of a crocodilian vertebra not a toe bone.

Definitely the boss . I did spot some of your bird claws in a post a couple of weeks ago, very nice indeed . Thank you.

Hi,

 

Museum on the IOW told me it was a toe bone, I will look into it further, thank you for your comment.

That's surprising they would tell you that (i assume this is Dinosaur Isle). They should be very familiar with the usual Bouldnor bits by now. The croc verts have a distinctive concave socket on one end and a convex ball on the other for articulation with the next vertebra. Compare with one of my examples below, though yours is the bottom part of the vertebra only (the centrum). The genus of yours is also Diplocynodon.

Thank you for the info, it was probably my error in writing the ID down. Although when I went last year to ID stuff, the young kid that came out really did not want to come as I was witness to the telephone conversation by the woman on the desk who insisted he did. As my samples were micro fossils in a gutter infill I got nowhere, he was not bothered did not bring an eyeglass with him or offer to take a look under a microscope kept me by the desk and said there was a bit of shark skull in there, so I will not be paying them a visit this year. Really nasty experience.

''Shark skull'' Amazing!!  

 

Where were these micro fossils from?
