Harry Pristis Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The first bone is a bovid (cow) medial phalanx which seem to be missing the epiphysis. The second is an epiphysis probably from a deer proximal phalanx. Number 11 is probably a tapir proximal phalanx from a side toe. You should take better images of item 13, which may be what I believe to be bryozoan or a cast of a bryozoan (though there are other opinions). Allow me to suggest that GROUP IMAGES of more than a few fossils are not effective. The more individual fossils in an image, the greater the amount of table-top is in the image. Viewers cannot see the details of a fossil that might take up less than five percent of the total image. Photograph a single fossil (or two or three, if they're tiny), and post that image. 6 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...
