    Some interesting things there....
    love the spines(?) and jawbone(?)

  5. gooseflesh (67 months ago | reply)

    Thank you Possums! Yes, there are parts of spines - so delicate. The little spiny things probably belong to fish. I love these too, such a perfect shape. I have some Port Jackson shark egg cases as well. I'll post those soon.

    I don't know what part of this I'd like best - collecting all the bits and pieces, or arranging them all once I got home. Two very, very compulsive behaviours of mine, to the utter chagrin of those around me.

    I was at the beach this weekend and found a bone and thought of my flickr contact gooseflesh :)

    Thanks again everyone.
    Funny how collections appeal so much. Must be our hunter/gatherer ancestry.
    robayre............ will you make something?
