TRexEliot Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I've been having a hard time finding a close up image of a sea turtle distal phalanx, but from what I could tell, they seem to be somewhat flat and paddle shaped with ray-like striations like this has. Could also imagine some sort of fish bone. Any thoughts on what this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I don’t know what you have. All of those circular indents on one side make me think of jaw bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I'm seeing the end of a soft-shelled turtle or sea turtle pleural. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRexEliot Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago @Carl the end of a sea turtle pleural bone seems like a very good match! I'm going to assume that's what it is unless I hear a strong argument for something else. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
