Another Mil Fossil


Auspex

Recommended Posts

Among the Mil bird bones that Martijn most generously sent me was a skull fragment. Following a hunch, I believe I have discovered what kind of critter it is from (though genus and species will have to be left to someone else; anyone have any ideas?).

I believe that this is part of a sea turtle skull, which Martijn says is extremely rare from Mil.

First pic is the fragment, second is marked for reference.

Looks pretty convincing to me. Nice one. A quick google gives some pretty similar examples.

KOF, Bill.
