It looks like a loon synsacrum. See attached photo from our upcoming website on bird bone ID.

Hi Art,
Yes, thank you! Linda Gordon actually called me a little while ago to point out that it was a bird.
Now---- which bird?
All the Best,
Abby

I'm afraid it's not a gazelle sacrum, but the synsacrum and innominates of a bird. The long processes are the pubic bones.

Hi -
A friend of mine found a gazelle sacrum while in Africa. They were wondering what the long, thin processes on it are and what their possible function could be.Â
Anyone have any ideas? See attached pic.
Thanks!
Abby
