snailgeek Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Found this in my yard. Feels almost too light for a bone. Cartilage maybe? It's curved and one edge has a 90 degree fold. I thought someone with anatomy knowledge might recognize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Does it seem like it could be something that was incinerated in a camp fire?

snailgeek Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Ooh you're good. There is a fire pit in my back yard and the previous owners burned all kinds of stuff in there. I bet a dog or raccoon dragged it out. So maybe not an animal bone at all? Almost looks like fiberglass on the lighter side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snailgeek Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Auspex was right. I also showed it to my dad and he said "looks like burned fiberglass." I feel so dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
