Hi, I came across a listing for a humerus from Alaska described as Arctodus simus. At 16" x 5", it still falls within the upper range of Ursus arctos from what I can find. It's way short of the largest described Arctodus specimens (~25 inches), although I know there was also significant sexual dimorphism. I can't see the entepicondylar foramen that differentiates Arctodus from modern bears in these photos. Maybe it's filled in or broken off, or isn't always present? Is anyone more knowledgeable able to confirm the ID? Thanks!

Hi I saw these "Skull pieces" for sale. The seller claims they're from the upper skull of the short faced bear, but to me they look like fragments. Does anybody know what they are. Thanks in advance!

Need help identifying this claw. Found in Dallas. There is clearly a hollowed out indention on one side that does not go through (lighter area due to cleaning to see if hole went through) and a notch-like indention on the other. The top edge of the claw appears to have been chiseled, as there are distinct chisel marks that go around the entire top of the claw Could this claw have been made into ancient jewelry or tool artifact?

From the album: Fossils I own
Edmontosaurus regalis. Its about 65mya. It was originally purchased when I was 3, and the seller is no longer selling fossils, so I don't know must about this specimen. I believe the tooth impression is from a Troodon.© (©) Brodieshire
