Good afternoon! I found this large bone fragment (?) while walking along the neuse river in Craven County, NC. Can anyone tell me what this bone might be? Such as distal end of femur of large mammal? I know fragments are difficult to pin down but the size of this has me very curious! 5 inches wide and 4 inches thick. Thank you!

Good morning, I am requesting help with ID on a bone I found in the Neuse River in Craven County in eastern NC NC. I have searched google but not able to find a bone of this shape. It measures 2 inches by 2.5 inches. What throws me is the twist in the bone, probably a result of excessive wearing in the River. Thank you

Good morning, I found this piece in the Neuse River in Craven County NC. On the same trip I found a piece of tusk that has 90 degree Schreger Lines (thank you very much for help in identifying the piece) making it diagnostically Mammoth. I just cleaned up this piece and am confused about the status of petrified wood/ nice rock/ or bone. The texture seems to be similar to some fossilized bones in my collection. That being said, the internal structure has a “core” that appears to be similar to the tight tree rings seen in early growth. I will post more pictures in comments. Thank you

Need some help with the identification of these. I believe they are all the same. At first I thought baby alligator, but don't think so. The biggest one is roughly 2 inches.

This complete metacarpal, a.k.a. cannon bone is an extremely rare find for North Carolina. Pleistocene mammals are uncommon and are mostly teeth. Being complete and undamaged it will be taking a prominent spot in my collection. The bone was found in a quarry containing mixed sediments of Pliocene Yorktown Formation, which is marine and a Pleistocene pebble lag. The odds are very very small that this would be from the Pliocene, so I am going on my gut feeling that this is from the Pleistocene. I also would like to send thanks to forum member @Fruitbat and @Harry Pristis for giving me a positive I.D. on this.
