Max-fossils Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hi everyone, Here are 3 bone pieces I found last month on the Banjaard beach in the Netherlands. Not sure what any of these are. Their age is most likely Pleistocene, but it could also be Pliocene. Both terrestrial and marine are possible. Let me know if any of these remind you of anything!

jpc Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 If I were a betting man, I would say bird cervical vertebra and humerus, and I don't know on the last one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about bird for the last one... that'd have to be a really big bird! The ruler is in centimetres Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Auspex Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 #1 is an avian cervical vertebra, and #2 is an avian humerus. #3 rings no bells for me. What there is of the humerus is very like that of a Loon (family Gaviidae), but not quite. 5 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Auspex Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I wonder whether #3 might be a mammal cranial fragment?
