Afrikaner Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Werner yes if 5 - 8 are the same not bird let me look at the books today. The left bone in Pic 10-11 is apparently from a young seal and no fossil . Better a bad Day at the Beach than a good Day at the Office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smilodon Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Seal radius - juvenile but why do you think it's not a fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawooten Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The large hollow bones are mammal with the inner part eroded out. Never mind the antler thats wrong. It does seem to be a Anterior rib maybe Scapula and the 9 & 10 pic on the right looks like a Clavical bone. The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikaner Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Seal radius - juvenile but why do you think it's not a fossil? Because I think it is to light and feels like a normal bone. Other fossil bones I have make a distinctive sound when you knock them on stone this one makes no sound at all. Better a bad Day at the Beach than a good Day at the Office!
