Found this in the Peace River, FL this week. I think it has enough definitive surfaces to provide an ID but I have not been able to find a good match/comparison. Any help with identification would be greatly appreciated. Measurements: 2 1/4"x 1 1/2" x 1 1/8" 50mm x 45mm x 30mm

Hello all. I've tried and tried to get the ID on this on my own and just don't have the experience. I dug this out of a gravel layer in the Peace River in Hardee County, Florida two weeks ago (early January, 2023). Some of the contours seem like an astragalus (horse, camel, ...) but the more museum photos I see the less sure I am. Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share. The pics are a little overexposed (intentionally) to show the shape, so the color appears lighter in the pics than in reality. Thanks!

Had a great day of fossil hunting this weekend with @Lorne Ledger. Got everything washed up, and now it's time to try to identify! I found this smaller, fairly complete bone in Southeast Texas. Mostly Pleistocene fossils here. It's confusing to me because one face reminds me of a deer astragalus, but a few other features don't quite seem to match. Since it seems to have several attachment points I considered it might also be a phalanx from something. Any ideas would be welcome to point me in the right direction. Thanks, Brandy @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @JohnJ @garyc

Hi guys. I found this large and pretty complete bone in a sandy gravel bar, Southeast Texas. Mostly Pleistocene here with less common Miocene-Pliocene. The size and odd shape made me lean toward proboscidean metapodial, but I looked in my Olsen book and had a hard time figuring out a match. Maybe mastodon astragalus? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Not much I can think of that would be asymmetrical and this robust. @JohnJ @garyc @darrow @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
