Masp Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm sure these are just rocks but looking for people to educate me as to why they look the way they do. If they appear to be anything else let me know.. these are #1 , #2 #3 #4 and #5 (two pics of each) #6 and #7 Lastly, a modern bone..probably a bird? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thepaleontologist101 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yep that bone is a birds. Most avian bones are hollow like that so that they weigh less and the bird can fly more easily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Pterosaur is another option. It looks modern to me though. It would be best to photograph them dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Can You post pictures of the items when they are not wet? Can You separate the pictures of one item and number all of the pieces? Just so We can tell which is what. I do see what looks like bone but can not be sure because the water hides the detail. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

abyssunder Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Some of them are concretions with iron content. The one below looks to be hollow ironstone concretion. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Just Bob Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Other than the one you are calling a modern bone the rest all look like iron concretions to me. I know in Big Brook they come in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
