Sacha Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Last week I went to a little spot in the Peace that I can dig at high water levels. Found very few things, but wondered if anyone has an idea of what the little bone in the lower left corner of the picture is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilsAnonymous Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't know, but nice little meg in the center. I personally like the little ones like that! On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 John, Good to see you got out. I did not attempt it last week, but have gone out this week on Monday and Wednesday. Clearly a toe bone from all angles Except that 2 pronged edge. That is unusual, I have never seen it previously.. At this point, I just start searching the net with "toe bone" and the usual suspects: dillo, glyptodon, tapir, etc The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacha Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yes Jack. This looks like a flattened medial phalanx of a 2 toed animal, but that isn't very likely. It may be modern as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This odd bone may be a 'gator intercentrum. "It is from an alligator. In gators the first neck vertebra, the atlas, does not fuse and remains three separate pieces of bone. This is one of them, called the intercentrum." ---Richard Hulbert --------- It seems that the crocodilians alone, among higher vertebrates, retain a primitive amphibian structure of the atlas. The atlas is the only place in higher vertebrates where an intercentrum occurs. The other two bones are the pleurocentra. 7 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
