Jim K Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I was going through some fossils I collected years back from the beach in Charlotte County and found a number of them which I could use some ID help on. This is one of them. While my interest in fossils is great, my knowledge of them is not - but I'm learning. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks like a bird bone to me. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I agree with a bone fragment, but no distinguishing features to say more. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, I think that the bone is too thick to be of a bird.

Rockwood Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have serious doubt about this being a bone even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I don't know if this additional information would help any for an ID, but the cavity at the base extends approximately two thirds it's length and tapers getting smaller. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Maybe a worn black coral fragment.

fifbrindacier Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 + 1 for the black coral fragment. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
