So sad the archaeological ones don't retain the blue! 🦴🐟🩵 These are vertebrae of the garfish, Belone belone. It's a tasty fish 😋 I drew one 🎨🖌 #zooarch #archaeology #fish

🐓🦃 Chicken Licken or Turkey Lurkey? The landfowl order includes our most popular dinnertable birds, chicken & turkey 🍗 It also includes native & introduced birds - e.g. pheasant, grouse & partridge. Identification can be a challenge, even with a ref collection, online & published ID guides 🦴🤔

😬🦷🐄 Left cattle maxilla with M1-M3 molars. BUT check out that M3 tooth hook! 😱 I've never seen such a big hook! It looks like some kind of image glitch! 😅

I just heard from the British Trust for Ornithology. They confirmed the bird was a kestrel, a nestling ringed in Brompton-on-Swale, 14/06/24. A baby :-( At ~8 months, the plumage I identified as female may actually just be juvenile. I need to look again to see if the remains can be reliably sexed.

Sad times 💔 Reported this deceased female kestrel. It read: INFORM BRIT. MUSEUM LONDON S.W.7 EW45248 fyi report ringed birds: app.bto.org/euring/lang/... She'll join the Live Forever Reference Collection for Recently Deceased Animals. She'll get along with Sprite, a female sparrowhawk ❤️🐦🕊🦅🦆🐦‍⬛🪿❤️

First post! 💙🦋 I'm a Zooarchaeologist 🦴🐚🐌 (available for hire no less!) based in the UK working across the Med & SW Asia. I love learning about the roles animals have played in our lives over the millennia, from food to pets to what we can understand about the natural environment. Also, I ❤️ emojis!
