Terra Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Request ID for two bone fragments from the Isle of Wight in England. The first one was found in Sandown on the beach near the rocks at Yaverland in the gray sandstone sediments - the Vectis formation from the Wealden Group. From this beach are found crocodile or pterosaur bones. The bone is small and has no endings that could say something more / identify, but maybe something can be said? The second bone is a small fragment of the top layer of some bone. She was found in the same place as above on the beach. I wonder if this is the contemporary bone of an animal? What do you think?

Bone pieces like this are often referred to as "chunkasaurus" 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Not saying this is definitive, but this is a turtle pelvis up above for example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Hunter02 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I personally would put those into the "random bone" container. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
