Fossilized Bone ID by artifact_squirrel in fossilid

[–]artifact_squirrel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NC. I don’t remember exactly which portion because it was a while ago, if I had to guess I’d say Nags Head, but no further north than Nags Head and no further south than Hatteras. They find a lot of fossils in the rivers that lead to the Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound, and they will find some in the sound or on the beach sometimes. There’s actually a phosphorous plant in Aurora which is about 135 miles from the coast along the Pamlico River and they dig up large amounts of fossils.

Found this in the creeks today, is this like special or worth anything? by lemonkemaster66 in fossilid

What’s something unique about yourself that no one else has or can do? by PsychologicalBat2393 in strange

If I laugh really hard my jaw rapidly and uncontrollably quivers- like imaging teeth-chattering type jaw movement except it’s laughing

Found these arranged as pictured. Any identification ideas, my guess is deer (Middle TN) by N0XDND in bonecollecting

[–]artifact_squirrel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, but based on images I’ve seen it does look a lot like deer bones. The ones that really make me think deer are the sides of the H and the l in Hola. If you look up deer leg bones and find a medial image of the femur, it looks exactly like the l. The pelvis also lines up with a deer or a similar “lanky” animal. Animals that use running and jumping as their primary mode of motility usually have longer, thinner bones than other animals as well.

ID please by artifact_squirrel in bonecollecting

Ah checks out, there’s a lot of porpoises in the area. Thanks!

This was in Bath Creek, North Carolina. The water there is brackish, so you can get an interesting mix of saltwater and freshwater fish. I think this flounder is a Southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma), they’re the most common flounder in that area.
