Fossildude19 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Is it hollow? Where was it found? Did you perform the burn test? 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Daniel1990 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Hi Found:Babimost , Western Poland Yes, it is empty inside. It's not a fossil. But could it be 100 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It could be. It could be anything less than 10,000 years old.

rocket Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 same site? Yours is pleistocene or holocene, material is known from there. Might be bird, but @Daniel1990: we need better pics to identify perhaps Lighter and one from the view in the inside 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I did some work with photoshop, I am sure it is a hollow tibia of a cervid (?Deer...). The lateral condyle does not fit to bird, but to cervid, as far as I can identify. But please post some more pics from both ends. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I think rocket is correct. Many non-bird bones are hollow. Bird bones are hollow AND have thin walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 10 minutes ago, jpc said: I think rocket is correct. Many non-bird bones are hollow. Bird bones are hollow AND have thin walls. Yes - and I’ve learned that once the bone interior is exposed through a break, bones can be hollowed out by erosion. The cancellous bone is more susceptible to erosion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
