Howdy all, Just purchased this avian coracoid. The seller claimed it was of Ardea herodias, and after comparing it to actual heron coracoids (using images on the web) I find this to he the case. However, I would like a second opinion. Size: 3 inches North Florida

Hello everyone, I just finished preparing what I think is a turtle coracoid but I'm having trouble narrowing down the species of it. It has lovely coloring that makes up for being a partial bone and was not a bad prep except for the very then bone at the edge. It measures 14.3cm long 5.4cm wide and 1.9cm thick at the articular surface.

Yesterday, I tried to return to the Peace River at the location I hunted Wednesday with my son. As I reached the river, I noted it was 18-20 inches deeper than last time. I would say neck deep, fast currents. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/134026-a-day-in-the-sun-with-my-son/ It takes me 2 hours to reach the river, so going home was not an option. We decided to check out a creek, which would have lower water depths. Found marine fauna (shark, ray, urchin, barracuda, fragments of dolphin bone) and one odd bone. I do not find very many G. aduncus. The blade is not curved and lays flat ... Recently, I had found and identified with the help of TFF, an alligator coracoid. It is a shoulder bone. and because I thought there was resemblance to this bone, searched for coracoids on the net. Many of the images that came up were avian, but they had very different proximal ends.. Then I saw this picture that @Harry Pristis added to a TFF thread, This seems more like my find... so a very goof possibility that it is turtle. @digit has turtle knowledge. Let's see what he thinks... The location seems dominated by Miopliocene marine fauna but there are lots of turtles that could drop a bone in the intervening eons....I always try to learn something new.. with each new find... The knowledge builds up over time.

Here is an avian coracoid that I found on the beach in South Carolina. It is from an unidentified off-shore formation that regularly deposits Pleistocene fossils on the shore. I am hoping that someone @Auspex can ID it to genus perhaps. Thanks for looking.
