While i was on the beach today near whitby i found this bone. I didnt bother taking it because i’m sure its modern, but i’m still curious.

 

Is it a chicken leg bone from someones bbq? :ighappy:

Part of a pelvic bone or maybe scapula. Don't know what animal, though.

You never know, i’ve seen people having BBQs down there. Do you think its a modern bone?

Probably modern, but you have to do some sort of test such as the burn test to truly find out, as for the species I think it's quite obvious this is a Chunkosaurus sp. :D

A dead seal recently had washed up here. It rotted on the beach, could it be that?

Seems to me like a very plausible possibility. :)
