I found 3 different bone fragments (?) which i will upload. 2/3 this second one i am not sure it is a fossilized bone - feels too light but then again feels quite different to non fossilized bones we have found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The first one could be turtle. The other 2 are unidentifiable pieces. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osteobyte Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hello, The second one is a bird coracoid, likely from a water bird species. It is just missing its proximal head. Image is from 'A Manual for the Identification of Bird Bones from Archaeological Sites'. By Alan Cohen and Dale Serjeantson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
