Found this strange little chunk of bone about two weeks ago on the Brazos and have had zero luck trying to identify it on my own. Nothing seems like an exact match. The complex series of holes and tube-like structures on the one side makes me think ear bone, and the suture markings lining the edges of the bone on the back side make me think skull fragment. Similarly, the thin raised area makes me think zygomatic process. My best guess would be something like the temporal bone on the back of a bison or horse skull, but I haven't been able to find much to make me sure of that ID. @Harry Pristis

I was able to go on a short hunt with my son and his girlfriend on the Brazos river Easter Sunday. The water had dropped a few inches and exposed a little bit more gravel that I had not been able to hunt yet. The first find of the day was a very nice sloth phalanx. On the way back I waited through the water and almost tripped over the second find. I thought it could’ve been a log. It was in about a foot of water and hard to see. The only part visible was the curve which made me think it could be a bone. I reached into the water and dug around the perimeter of the piece and was finally able to

The result of a four mile kayaking trip to some remote point bars. Notable finds include the large section of horse jaw, the alligator and horse vertebrae, the proximal end of a bison femur (with a calcite encrusted inner cavity), and the horse hoof core. -

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.
