David in Japan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi TFF friends, Last week I spend my holidays in france, and went fossil hunting at cap blanc-nez just after the hurricane David hit northern europe. As i walked in direction of wissant i found inside an albian formation(i think it is les sables vert, it is clay mixed with glauconite) the following objects. It is 8cm long for the biggest part, 2.5cm to 3cm large, 1cm at the thickest place. It is slightly curve and the cross section is a U shape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hmmm, I m not sure it is bone material David. I know fossil wood is often found in that deposit so I m more inclined to think in that direction. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

David in Japan Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Me too I can't really say if it is a bone or some wood. General shape make me think of rib bone or just a bone in general, but I can't find anything really characteristic of bone beside the shape. On the other hand, the "thing" doesn't look like fibrous nor spongy. I don't know if it helps or not but on the last picture you can see that it is made of superposed layers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
