Found this a year ago on a Florida beach. Stingray maybe? The torso or skull disinigrated when I cleaned the skeleton. The backbone is still good.

It looks like a water color painting! It's really good too! It looks very realistic.

OMG! It's a piece of dried up wood! Run for your life!

It seems to me the skull of a warthog...but you say the skull 'disintegrated' when it was cleaned. That would be more likely to make this a type of shark, as they don't have much of a skeletal structure, only cartillege.

Do you have a picture of it BEFORE you cleaned it?

Comment by: Death Phoenix on Dec 20, 2006
It looks like some kind of rock or mineral....with seaweed attached to it

From the way the head is angled like that it sort of reminds me of a small Hammerhead Shark.

didn't look at the other pic, I retract my below statement.

Comment by: shadow_creeper on Oct 13, 2006
type of shale, or other sedimentary stone? maybe petrified wood?

First, check the dates, I posted this before Steve died. Second, I found it last year. So can the Steve jokes.

Second, it is bone, NOT wood. I found it on a beach and cleaned it. The tendons that held the bones together disinigrated, as did the cartilidge seeming part. All that I have left is the backbone and I can say with 200 certainty, it is real bone. Use the bricks as they are normal sized building bricks to judge the size. It is not human. It doesn't appear to be a bird either. I can only assume it is a type of fish. I plan to take the pictures with me when I go to a local marine research facility here in St. Augustine Florida as well as take the actual bones that survived the cleaning process and see what they say.

Yea stu, crickey. Steve never hurt an animal- that was him trying to teach people about the active lives of his animals. If he could have hugged and kissed them, he would, He said so while kissing his camels...

well if u cant identify it then take it to a biologist to possitivly identify it. i am sorry but apparently some ppl, aren't very bright. i have found many bones i couldn't identify so i normally use a biologist at the local college or high school. i.e. 23 of a femur found in a crek bed ended up being a human femur dating around mid 1800s

I still think its leftovers from a carnivore

Comment by: bookworm 4675 on Aug 17, 2006
