Here are a few close ups of some of the more interesting bones I found at the water's edge in northern Maine. This first one, a vertebra, looks like a face:
I'm not sure which animal this small skull belongs to, but I'm keeping it for my collection.
I also have these long bones with some interestingly splayed, or winged, edges.
During cleaning, I became aware of a piece of lead embedded in one of them.
I think it had entered from the other side, where there was a little hole, and presumably bone had started growing across the entry point - OUCH, poor animal.
