John Hamilton Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Every time I look at this object I see a sea gull beak. I'm sure it is probably nothing but I have posted some pics for comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbyte Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hello John, I don't believe it is a bird beak. It is too solid for a beak. (to me) I think it is just something that has a general resemblance to a beak.

Cris Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I have to agree with Bobby. Not a beak, but I can see how it looks like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbyte Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 John, If you want a real laugh, (at my expense) go back to some of my earliest postings. two in particular are "Possible Egg" and "Ancient Fire Remains" then for a continued laugh just follow my regularly occuring, routine replys. Known to make a few wrong guesses. For me though, I don't mind being wrong. In other words, I am not going to shy away from putting my thoughts out on the Forum for everyone to read because sometimes I get something right and for those times that I don't, I won't drop the post till I learned as much as I can. I have never made a wrong guess that it wasn't worth being wrong. You are going to find that the Forum has some incredibly fossil minded/educated members who really enjoy sharing knowledge with others. The help that you can get on here is amazing. The feedback and comments I receive are the sole reason for my wanting to post pictures and thoughts.

Auspex Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Birds' beaks are very complex structures; not solid at all.

John Hamilton Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks for all the responses. I didn't think it was a beak but it just has that look. Any ideas what it might actually be? Is it a steinkern? It doesn't have the same texture or appearance as any of the worn bone fragments I collected in the same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I don't see anything that says fossil at all, imo.. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
