So was out hunting yesterday - and I will definitely be making a trip report because I came away with a ridiculous number of amazing finds. But before that - I need ids! So to start off - 1) Found a massive astragalus. 2.5”/64mm. Matches Equus, but these astragalii I found a while ago were IDd as Equus and they are about half the size: One from yesterday: So is the new one Equus and my old ones are 3-toed? 2) Found a symphysis from some mammal. It’s still got the incisor roots, and an unerupted canine, but I can’t see the canine well enough to figure it out. Diagnostically though - it’s got part of the left mandible, showcasing the roots and sockets of the closest premolar (and one socket from the next) - and based on the distance I think it’s okay to eliminate herbivore (Or deer, horse, camel/llama, etc) due to knowing they have long snouts. So… carnivore? Any ideas what, if so? Measures 50mm/1.95” long and 30mm/1.2” wide. 3) Finally - pretty sure this is the tip of a Dire wolf canine, given root hole shape, the single carinae, lack of striations, etc - but I’d love confirmation or another ID. @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @Brandy Cole Thanks all in advance!
