gms Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi all! Some time ago a friend of mine found what seems to be a turtle bone at Yaverland (Isle of Wight - UK) along with some eroded fish and crocodile remains. Honestly, we have no idea about this small isolated bone. We'd be very grateful if you could help us. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailingAlongToo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It is a limb bone, to what I'm not sure. Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books......... Sam Cooke - (What A) Wonderful World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 VERY likely a turtle bone from that location. 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike from North Queensland Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Unsure from photo but does the specimen have a hollow core, as that would rule out turtle. Looks similar to turtle from my area. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gms Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yes, the proximal end of this bone has a slight hollow core. Any ideas aside from turtle? I'm 60% sure that this bone belongs to a turtle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
