definetly fossil… do you know where that area dates back too (ie the mesozoic era)

i dont know correctly but in the Mesozoic era it was underwater, and in the Cenozoic it was the Coverd in Ice

Well it could possibly be plesiosaur or pliosaur bone…

but probably not anything from the cenozoic… things would fossilize easier underwater than in ice

Ok ill

take furder research on this specimen

rather interesting!

It’s most likely ice agr

Age

So Pleistocene

It looks like the bottom of a jaw!

It isn’t Mesozoic

Definitely ice age

Can you upload some more angles, please

ok

oh wow

@smudge-smith the ice age only happened in the last couple million years of the cenozoic, so something can perfectly be cenozoic without having preserved in ice

but @leonardo-miranda @dyon-hunting said in the cenozoic it was covered in ice

the cenozoic lasted from 65 mya to the present. of those 65 million years, the ice age only happened in the last two million and ended some 10 thousand years ago

@smudge-smith watch Walking With Beasts. you’ll see there were a whole bunch of stuff between the dinosaur extinction and the beginning of the ice age

tiny horses, land whales, ground sloths, terror birds

I guess so… maybe mammal? 😂

I love terror birds

There’s a possibility that the ice age isn’t over yet. this is just a short moment of warmth halfway through before the ice returns @smudge-smith ; the “eye of the hurricane”

mammal? maybe. or dinosaur. or plesiosaur. or a pink fluffy unicorn. l don’t know anything about telling apart bones

sadly

you are doing your best

same

you Guys are the best

thx

@leonardo-miranda The eye of the hurricane you say?

…There is quiet, for just a moment… yellow skies.

and then it whooshes back all over again

@leonardo-miranda It’s a Hamilton reference lol

heheheh

Trust me, that is a bottom jaw of a kind of mammal dating from the ice age as Holland was part of the late land bridge that reached the British isles and divided the young North Sea and English Channel. As well as before that Europe was one whole land mass!

If it’s got holes in the lower top it’s a bottom jaw as that’s where the teeth would have gone in!

If not it might be part of the arms or legs?

And Smith you have, in the cenozoic/age of mammals, paleocene, eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene!

The ice ages didn’t occur till the start of the Pleistocene!

Bare in mind, that the last ice ages is the most popular episode of a glacial cover up and that it has been occurring or potentially could have occurred for 2 billion years!!!

In the space of 2 billion years!

Ok let’s get down to business. We agree it’s probably a jaw bone, and it’s cenozoic, so no dinosaurs, unless we’re talking birds. Birds however, have beaks, so no terror birds. It looks long, (there’s no scale so I’m just assuming) and it is relatively straight, it just runs until it meets with the other jaw in a roughly triangular shape. Being straight and long, we can rule out mammals, because their jaws are u-shaped. The only large creatures around on land during the cenozoic that weren’t mammals or birds were reptiles such as crocodiles. So this is most likely (assuming it’s large) a crocodile jaw bone. Trilobite out.

thank you al for your

help!!

😂😂😂

hHahaha

iam really good at typing

lol

@a-trilobite it’s not. check out the other one a little way down. 113 comments
