Thanks Bonnie - I've had a look at a few images and have to agree that it resembles a section of Gull pelvis.

It came from a beach at Southport. After discounting the usual bones thrown overboard by ships cooks, and perusing our bones atlas etc I looked at small cetaceans. Despite doing the excellent Zooarchaeology course at Sheffield I can't 'suss it out'. Help would be appreciated. thanks in advance Don Don Stenhouse Collections Access Officer (Natural Science) Bolton Library and Museum Services Le Mans Crescent BOLTON BL1 1SE Tel: 01204 338765 email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Please note I only work part time so my reply may be delayed.
