3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoIs this dinosaur bone?
Found this on Shanklin beach a few weeks ago. Pleas can you help me what dinosaur it’s from and what part of the body it’s from. #fossil
if it was Dino bone then it would probably be from vectorovenator inopinatus and that would be world class standard. most likely fossil wood as that area is good for fossil wood but the wood there is more stable and different looking than ones from say Brook. either you’ve hit gold or got a piece of fossil wood. I think wood
Ok
Have you checked on all sides for traces of spinal processes of any kind? If this was to be a bone (which is improbable but better be certain) it would probably be a caudal vertebra of some sort, which have small cervical processes on the dorsal area
@smudge-smith there are tons of dinosaur species on the iow. if it’s a dinosaur bone, it would more likely be a common species like an iguanodont
@leonardo-miranda Shanklin is a marine deposit. if any Dino bone is found there it is very rare. that’s why vectorovenator is different.
also holes are common from fossil wood from Shanklin. it looks like this price has it
dinosaurs have been found in marine deposits more than once. they got washed out to sea via rivers.
yes but @leonardo-miranda no Dino from there has been found like that.
I have also found stuff like that from shanklin
Is it drift wood
?
Or is it Dino bone?
fossil wood (drift wood)
