    Mostly Bones

    I was out hunting yesterday on the Peace River. I returned to a spot I had hunted last Thursday, Feb 28th, It rained over the weekend. Many /most locations were too deep to dig. I LIKE deep water because it is aerobic exercise for my lower back but I prefer not to be holding my breadth as I did. I did not find a large volume of fossils, many were bones, especially Dugong ribs which I tossed back. Small Shark teeth, Turtle Osteoderms, an Alligator Osteoderms, Deer tine, Broken Equus tooth, One question is that Bovid tooth... It is really nice... I would certainly like it to be Bison.. I like this Medial Phalanx... I do not think it is Horse, Might be Tapir... It is definitely small I found a Carpal that is smaller than I am used to finding for Camelids. I may indeed check the Tapir carpals. Same thing with this Ear Bone, too small to be Equus but similar to Equus . Both Horse and Tapir are Perissodactyla. I have never identified a Tapir ear bone. Then there were more unusual bones... unusual in the sense that I have no clue.. This bone has articular facets...like a carpal or tarpal, but the following 2 Photos of the same bone does not look like any carpal I have seen.. Time for me to do a lot of looking All assistance and suggestions gratefully appreciated... Jack

    Large Mammal Carpal

    Found on January 3rd, one of the bones to identify later, and now later has come. I went to a Fossil Club meeting and some experts there (Mark Renz, etc) felt it is a wrist bone, and did not recognize what mammal. 7 'views' of the find. The view below might be top of foot. Some 'chipping', especially on the last photo, but but basically this bone is all there is high quality preservation. If this is a Carpal (rather than Astragalus or Calcaneum) of 66 x 33 mm, it is from a LARGE mammal, say Rhino or Eremotherium. So that is where my thinking is going. I have not found any Rhino fossils at this site. I have looked at Metacarpal 2 (MC2) and the Unciform in this photo below which are close to the size (66 x 35 mm) of the find. I think close but not exact. But they are the best possibility SO FAR, and E. eomigrans was a Blancan fauna and I have found other E. eomigrans fossils at this location. Guidance on other possibilities or steps to investigate greatly appreciated... Jack
  3. Hello all, Im stumped on this little bone. Originally I thought it was part of giant tortoise because of the similarities in internal consistency between it and the various osteoderms I have. still not ready to abandon that idea. Then I started looking at it like a carpal or tarsal bone but I can’t find a good match there either. Spent a long while In everything from deer to bison. Sesamoids too. Seemed like a nice groove for some soft tissue to pass over on the arched side of the bone (bottom left panel of first photo) Now I have myself pretty frustrated. I know enough to know it’s something that was important. Too many articulation locations. Just can’t tell what. Any leads for research appreciated or ID appreciated. Thanks! Jp Here are images of the mystery. It’s about 25mmx20mm depending how you measure it but it would fit snugly into a box of those dimensions. second panel are some additional images with it next to a couple tortoise osteoderms examples. One small and one larger. (It’s the middle size of the three)

    A curious short bone

    I was hunting yesterday and post a trip report: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/138017-peace-river-hunt/ I did not think I had anything that I either needed or could ask for an ID, but then this bone "talked" to me. It seems that it is not a long bone, but mostly complete (96%) and about a size to be interesting.. That means there is a reasonable chance some TFF member will recognize. It could be a toe bone like a metapodial, tarsal, carpal, of a pretty large animal like Sloth or Rhino. At 1st I thought it might be a Calcaneum but a Jaguar Calcaneum which I found is much larger. I have also seen similarities to Sea Turtle or Dolphin humerus... So it could be a lot of things. I'll have a long time tracking each possibility down. It is from an mammal or reptile that lived and died near the Peace River. I hope some members can eliminate some of the possibilities. Top: Bottom (opposite to top) Left side Right side Left end Right end Help greatly appreciated. As the topic implies... a curious short bone

    Mammoth Lunar?

    With all this talk about carpals lately, I decided to take a second look at this un-ID'd carpal I found a while back. Of all the larger fauna I've looked at, it seems to best resemble the mammoth lunar, but it's not nearly as robust as my other mammoth carpals or several of the examples I've seen online. Maybe juvenile? Just checking to see if there are other possibilities I may be missing. Thanks! @Meganeura @Harry Pristis @JohnJ @Shellseeker

    Bone identification needed.

    I collect armadillo fossils. All of my fossils have been purchased and I have been able to identify most of them using the internet. The attached photos are from bones I purchased labeled Holmesina carpals. Both seem to be the same bone, one from holmesina septentrionalis and one from holmesina floridanus (my guess). They are both river finds from Northern Florida, USA. I have not been able to find a photo or diagram showing this bone. Does anyone have a photo or diagram showing this bones position in the skeleton. If these bones are not from the Holmesina genus, I would like to know that also.
  7. Found this in northeast Nevada on the surface during a survey. Believe to be Miocene or older. Possibly a carpal or tarsal?

    Equus Navicular?

    Found this little piece a while back, and I'm pretty sure it's a navicular. It looks similar to the equus navicular examples I've seen on the site, but there do appear to be a few differences. The differences might just be due to wear, but I wanted to see if anyone had a different take. Blocks are square inches.

    ID Help Peace River FL

    I found the below bone on the Peace River, FL some weeks ago. I have spent a good bit of time trying to come up with an ID that fits. I believe it is a carpal bone and based on the size - 56mm x 63mm x 28mm at its widest points - I think I have narrowed it down to Sloth. I have an affinity for sloth fossils so I am not yet sure it isn't just wishful thinking. I would welcome any input on the identity of the creature that left this bone in the river for me to find! Thanks!

    Tarsal ?? Carpal ??

    I do not recognize this one.... Where is @Harry Pristis when I need him? I heard that canids ALSO have tarsals and carpals.. What else besides Bison, horse, camels ??
  11. So I found this bone in the Cretaceous Bladen formation of eastern North Carolina. It’s 2cm in length. After looking at pictures of the skeletons of various organism, I think it is either the carpal or metacarpal of a turtle or a mosasaur. Does this look accurate for this bone? Thanks!

    Large foot bone

    I’ve browsed the extensive photo gallery of @Harry Pristis but had no luck finding a similar bone. I found this on the Brazos River in SE Texas. I’m thinking it’s a carpal from either a proboscidean or eremetherium. Anyone seen this or have an opinion? @fossilus @Uncle Siphuncle @Shellseeker @Lorne Ledger Thanks!

    Ungulate carpals / tarsals

    Found on the beach in Jacksonville Florida. Definitely Pleistocene. Thanks in advance.
  14. Hi I just bought these two dinosaur fossils from Alberta Canada. A Ceratopsian vert and a Hadrosaur metatarsal. The colouring and look/preservation of the Hadrosaur metatarsal makes me think they didn’t come from the Horseshoe canyon formation like it says but instead the Dinosaur Park formation. since it doesn’t give much information other then the Horseshoe canyon formation it’s possible, Thanks for future help. Ceratopsian vert
