Possible bird skull?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, this is my first thread on this forum.

I found this community while doing some research about a possible bird skull fossil.

The piece was found by me in the Sea of Lima, Peru, in the 2018 summer.

I can take more pictures if needed. 

I see myself a peack and some eyes sockets ..

I agree, not a skull. 

Chunk of eroded/broken/water worn mollusk shell sounds about right.

Looks to be an oyster with barnacle bases attached.

Throw in some sponge borings.

That's a really neat piece of coquina!

Thanks everyone out there for all the responses, really did not expect them, specially in soo little time!

btw, i had found anothers examples of coquina previosly and could not found by myself what it was, even when i could clearly see pieces of sea sheels and so, so thanks a lot to everyone who mention coquina as now i understand much more about some of my findings!

Welcome to the Fossil Forum.

I visited Lima many years ago, but never went fossil hunting. Peru is a beautiful country.
