JohnBrewer Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It looks modern to me. I’d be interested to see if it is a bat bone John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just happen to have these modern bat (humeri ?) as examples. I think it's Brown bats that we have around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 "Hey, as circumstance has it, I just happen to have a couple of bat bones in my pocket!" Perhaps it is of a different rodent of sorts. Rat, squirrel, really tiny cave bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they are in a boat shaped piece of layered concretion that has some neet little brachiopods included in the layer. Whole skeleton. Some arthropods fleshed them out from the bat mummy I had. Hey, you never know when you might need something like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 There are some nice high res images of Pleistocene bat humeri to compare to, in Gunnell, Gregg F et al. 2015. Bats (Chiroptera) from Olduvai Gorge, Early Pleistocene, Bed I (Tanzania). American Museum novitates; no. 3846, pp. 35. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
