Whatever it was.....it sure wasnt very fast

Wow i cant belive no one knows what that is. Its a beaver. Can you tell by the way the spine connects into the skell like that. Actually im not sure but that is my guess. Or could also be a badger.

You might have found the petrified prong of a Peruvian prince, or, if found in a cave, perhaps some carnivorous creature crept into the crypt and crapped. [

 

[RockChucker]

Me thinks. Turkey leftovers from an Easter gone by!

 

[Newspeak]

Wait. Let's beat a dead horse:

The key difference between a fossil and a bone, is that a fossil is not a bone. It is either bone that has been turned into rock or it's an impression of something.

Turkey carcass!!!!!!!!!!!! Jim

 

[Camp Cook]

You called it a fossil, but to me, it sure looks like bone.

Couldn't agree more...

 

[220Swifty]

Onagoth, you pulled a boner by calling a bone a fossil.

Looks turkish to me.

 

[Beritel]

That's assuming they're from the same animal....maybe you found the legendary animal burial grounds!! Was there a headstone?

 

[sjemac]

Bird carcasse.

 

[Chip]

Beaver.

 

[looch]

Boil it and see what kind of soup you get.

 

[Fire306]

Turkey, They're in season, go get another and compare.

 

[rhino519]

hahahaha
you called it a fossil

one is definitly a pelvis the other, if its a sternum, it's too big/thick for flying bird
my money is on a turkey or some small mammal

 

[Pudelpointer]

Zoology 101 - only birds have a keeled breast plate.

I can see why one might mistake the pelvis for a skull, but a skull would not have fused vertebrae. Definitely not a turtle - a turtle has a backbone that is not attached to the shell.

Considering the size, young turkey or a goose.

 

[PileBuck]

turtles backbones are fused to the top shell

Cool image, I stand corrected!

Still a bird though.

Hey PileBuck, do you have a photo of the breast plate as well?

Cheers

Waitttttt aaaa minute......Dat ain't no fossil..

Definately some type of bird...ruffed grouse parts look the same, only smaller....turkey could be...yoda says...

 

[PileBuck]

heres another one from the side... might be a different turtle tho

it also would help if we knew where it was found... beside a lake or at the top of a mountain?
