old bones Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I found this in Sacha's 'frog toe' matrix from the Indian River spoil island in Florida. It is from the Pleistocene Melbourne bone bed. I recognized a similar bone in one of my books. Is it from a bird? If so, can it be ID to family/genus even? Auspex?

Auspex Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The silhouette is rather like that of the anterior portion of a shearwater coracoid, but all the specific details (procoracoid 'spur', furcular, scapular and glenoid facets) are absent, and it does not seem to be due to wear. I would look at parts from another critter.
