minnbuckeye Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I know bone fragments are hard to identify. But take a look and see if any info can be given on the samples posted today: 1. These long bones are very hollow, hopefully bird in origin????? 2. These are 2 heavy chunkasauruses, scapulas?? Can one tell terrestrial from aquatic? 3. This bone seems like a phalanx??? Again, terrestrial or aquatic? 3. 4. A weird bumpy bone, lots of projections. Anatomically, I am having difficulty placing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 5. This boomerang confuses me: 6. Finally, this tiny thing, fish spine? Urchin spine? I don't even remember finding it. Then to think it made it from Florida to Minnesota in my luggage without breaking!!!! Makes it special.Thanks one and all for assisting me on IDing my fossils from Florida! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 By any chance did you feel you should leave a generous tip because you just had time to get all your fossils packed and the room was trashed with scraps of packaging material ? Happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I seem to remember seeing that last one elsewhere. Catfish pectoral spine if i remember correctly. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indominus rex Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Could the boomerang be a partial deer horn? Last one does look like a catfish spine. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) 3. Looks more like a vertebrae centrum. 4. Weird little thing, some marine mammals have those twisted bones. Or could be part of an antler. 5. This looks like an antler fragment. 6. Broken off spine of a fish vertabrae.

jpc Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 1. Mammal humeri. Not hollow enough to be bird bones. 2b. Mammal pelvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 +1 on deer antler for #5 They tend to be more fibrous than other bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think 3 may be a vert as well Mike last one looks like a fish spine too Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
