Hello, I posted previously on a tooth found on a creek gravel bar in central Oklahoma that may be bison or cow. I did some additional looking around in the same area of the creek and downstream about a hundred yards and found the specimens in the attached photos. For reference I am also including a picture that shows where the horn and skull fragment were found (bottom of embankment, indicated by red arrow). I also found a rib bone piece here but am not including any pictures of that one as it was a pretty small piece. The tooth was found in a gravel bar in the stream at the same location. The humerus (pretty sure that is a humerus?) was found mostly buried in stream mud about 50 feet downstream on the same side of the creek. I would be happy if anyone has any thoughts on what these bones originally belonged to. Sorry for the standard tape measure, I don't have a metric ruler at home. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I found this bone in the same area as the bison radius from my previous post here in SE Texas. I've found pleistocene mammal material here before. Looking at some illustrations online...I think it's a metatarsal, but I can't tell if it's from a cow or bison. Both appear slender...bison leg bone images seem slender in the rear legs vs the front leg. This bone is heavily mineralized which leans me more towards bison than a cow. Unfortunately it has some wear at the ends that I was trying to compare images with. But I know there's someone who can tell right away and has one. This bone is just over 9 inches total.

Having just gone thru the effort of identifying a Chelonia Sea Turtle Humerus, but I looked at a Humerus for a Giant Tortoise and it did not seem to match.. So others might have seen this previously. Seems distinctive enough... @digit

I called a couple old navy buddies and told them about the creek I’ve been fossil hunting. They came out to help make since of what the landscape was millions of years ago. We went on an intelligence gathering. We believe we found some pretty good fossils that might answer the question. So I’m sending the pics to the intelligence community. Let me know if you need more pics and thanks for the help.

I found this fossil close to a known fossil site Hamra 1. Most of the fossils there are from late miocene. I have picked up crocodile scutes, fish bones, and many other things at the same location. People have found hyena bones, relatives of ostriches, bovids, and many other animals near the spot. The fossil itself has a few cracks in it that I did not see before removal, so some pieces where broken off. I picked up all the pieces I could see and glued them back on at home.

Was having a look at a few Kem Kem bones for sale and i came across this. It is a long bone at 26.8cm in length, looks quite thin with both ends intact (though one end has a different colouration to the rest of the bone). Wanted to get some thoughts as i originally thought this could be from a Pterosaur or a small non-avian theropod, but it seems a bit different to the Pterosaur femurs i have seen (which is what the fossil is being sold as). I am thinking it could be a leg bone from a bird? but i am no expert on Cretaceous birds. Can i ask for some opinions on this bone? thanks in advance.
