Found the below bone on the Peace River last week. It was just laying on the bottom on top of a limestone shelf and covered with algae. Was interested enough in what it might be to bring it home and clean it up a bit. The only thing I could find that matched size and shape was a proboscidean foot bone. I am curious to see if anyone can make an ID. Specimen measures: 4" x 3.75" x 1.5" or 110mm x 95mm x 35mm Any input/suggestions on a possible idea would be appreciated. Thanks! Jim W.

Hi guys. I found this large and pretty complete bone in a sandy gravel bar, Southeast Texas. Mostly Pleistocene here with less common Miocene-Pliocene. The size and odd shape made me lean toward proboscidean metapodial, but I looked in my Olsen book and had a hard time figuring out a match. Maybe mastodon astragalus? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Not much I can think of that would be asymmetrical and this robust. @JohnJ @garyc @darrow @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
