Fossil found offshore fishing between Macquarie Island and Antarctica

24 Year ago while working his arse off on a fishing boat Reece's Long line snagged an ancient skull from the sea floor.
It was estimated at around 1 meter long and 40cm wide. Forward facing eyes, bird looking, long beak.
It was hooked in the eye and after it was onboard it was dropped and a piece broke off which Reece was given and the skipper took the rest of the complete skull which now lives in New Zealand.
Reece has been wearing the fossil as a necklace for the last 20 years and is wondering just what its actually worth..
Should he be wearing it or should it be kept in a safe?
If anyone has any idea what he is looking at then please let us know. Thanks guys n gals.

Wear it! No good in a safe. Wear it into a archeologists meeting and see what uproar it causes.

Is it geological or fauna, do you think?

Not sure I'd wear it but it looks like it could be turned into a neat bottle opener easy enough. 8)
