Jaco Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Good Day. I Have seen this in my back yard lying around - looked like n peice of wood. when I picked it up I was shocked at its weight and it is like stone. on closer inspection it looks like a Rib bone of some sort. also picked-up the small piece looking like a fraction of a joint - also seems like solid rock. note sure if it forms part of the same animal. Could someone Please help ID. This was found in my Back yard in Capetown South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ribs are very hard to id. They look so much alike. The other smaller piece might be more identifiable if you show it on sides. Finding the geological age. of your location will also give you a further rough idea of what might be found . Your local fossil club and local museum or university paleo department are other good sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Thank you VERY much for the reply. I had no idea what a fosilized bone would look like until I saw this and realized that this "Rock" actualy was a bone - WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
