All found on the same sand point bar. Notable finds include the proximal head of a bison rib, a large piece of soft-shelled turtle plastron, and a giant tortoise epiplastron. -

From the album: Texas Pleistocene
All found along two sand point bars that were close to one another. Notable finds include two thoracic and one cervical vertebra from a horse, a proximal phalange from a deer, and a three-toed horse tooth. -

A return to a previously hunted sand point bar a month later. Notable finds include two decently-sized chunks of giant tortoise plastron, a broken proximal end of a bison humerus, and the bottom half of an unknown vertebra. -
From the album: Texas Pleistocene
All found along the same sand point bar. Notable finds include the mammoth tusk segment and possible unciform (wrist bone), the horse metatarsal, horse hoof core, peccary molar, bison molar (the bluer tooth is from a modern cow), the distal end of a horse scapula, and a Gary/Maybon type projectile point. The two large chunks of bone underneath the mammoth tusk turned out to be from modern cows. -
From the album: Texas Pleistocene
All found on one island in the middle of the river. Notable finds include a three-toed horse astragalus, half of a turtle nuchal bone, the distal end of a horse scapula, the proximal head of a horse (?) femur, and a heavily-mineralized piece of rib from a very large mammal. -

From the album: Texas Pleistocene
All found along one sand point bar. Bison/horse rib, turtle hyoplastron, two horse premolars attached to one half of jawbone, and a heavily-eroded Glyptodon osteoderm were all notable finds. -
On our field trip with PSoA this month, my husband found this bone fragment. It seems thick for a turtle to me, but I am more familiar with Cretaceous turtles. The Brazos river was very low during our trip and the fragment was found in the river bed, not the wall. Any guidance on what it may be or information supporting turtle or not is greatly appreciated!

Is this a mammoth rib? Came from the Brazos river in southern Texas. Could be from the Beaumont or Lissie formations, or a Pleistocene terrace deposit (definitely terrestrial). Based on size alone and what lived in Texas at the time, I’m thinking Colombian mammoth, or maybe a giant sloth. Definitely too big for bison, deer, llama, horse, etc.

I found this piece of tusk on the Brazos River in southeast Texas. I’m not seeing the typical schreger lines that determine if it’s mammoth vs mastodon. This could be Pleistocene or Miocene . The coaster is 4 inch diameter.

Possible rib or antler, possibly not old enough to be interesting.
Diapsid posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this bone/antler the other day under Whiskey Bridge near College Station, Texas. The area is known for Eocene marine fossils, but also things like mammoth, horse, and deer skeletal remains. The area has tons of modern deer too. I am reasonably confident that this piece is bone or antler, but beyond that I'm clueless. I can't tell if this is modern or 40,000 years old, and I can't tell what animal it may have come from. I can say that it is 8 grams, slightly curved, and the sides are somewhat flattened. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. For further context, this was found on the bank of the Brazos river, the area had near record rain this summer when it rained for nearly a month straight. The water has finally receded enough for people to go down to the banks. I believe animals may be able to get down here too, though the only access point for this specific area for something like a deer is from the highway, the river banks are lined by cliffs about 10-20 feet tall. This piece may have washed down from further upstream.

Are there enough diagnostic features left on this atlas vert to determine an identification? I found it on the Brazos River in SE. Texas Pleistocene gravels
