It is the first elongated piece with the protrusions on the front. Fish bones are so strange! <br />By the way, I have just discovered your blog and I love it! I am very impressed with the work you do, and I have recommended your site as a reference to my fellow zooarchaeology students. Keep up the good work. Bones are awesome! Maybe one day we'll work on an archaeological site together!Megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540004930810199220.post-29779202637316806532015-05-20T20:51:28.587+01:002015-05-20T20:51:28.587+01:00Not turtle.
