LiamL Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 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? Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Part of a pelvic bone or maybe scapula. Don't know what animal, though. 1 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

LiamL Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 A dead seal recently had washed up here. It rotted on the beach, could it be that? Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
