    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
  2. Found this in northeast Nevada on the surface during a survey. Believe to be Miocene or older. Possibly a carpal or tarsal?
  3. I found this fossil on our ranch near Plush Oregon a few weeks ago. It is the 2nd complete bone fossil I have ever found. The first was allegedly a camel cannon bone. I would like to make a post on it later but this one really grabs my attention. The length is 1 3/8" (34.925 mm) and the larger width is 1/2" (12.7 mm) and the smaller width is 3/8" (9.525 mm). I found it in a small dry alkaline lakebed. I have found fragments from there for a long time. People just call them camel bones but there has never been anything identifiable. The last picture is of the fragments you usually find. I found this right before sunset about 3/4's of the way up the old dune that makes up the north edge of the small dry lake. The geological map I got off of the app rockd says it is in a quaternary surficial deposit; pluvial lake valley deposits. 2.588-0ma. I have a friend who knows a little about fossils and he thought it might be a toe bone off of a Mesohippus. I was wondering if anybody has any other guesses? I dont know much about fossils but I am trying to learn! Any thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you

    Ungulate carpals / tarsals

    Found on the beach in Jacksonville Florida. Definitely Pleistocene. Thanks in advance.

    Mammoth Tarsal or Carpal?

    I found this digging in a phosphate mine in Florida 20 years ago when I was pretty young. I don’t remember exactly where. Although, I do still remember we found a mammoth thoracic vertebrae and someone else found an equus mandible in the same general area. I’m not the best with carpals and tarsals. I can only regularly recognize calcanei and astragali. I was under the impression it was from a mammoth or some other Proboscidean. It wouldn’t surprise me if I was completely wrong. Anyone know what it is?

    horse calcanea

    From the album: BONES

    This tarsal, the calcaneum, is often found as a fossil because the bone is dense and because in life there is little meat on the bone to attract carnivores. Calcanea (plural) are diagnostic -- that is, they can be identified to family or genus. In this image, the Pleistocene Equus sp. tarsal is compared to a smaller, Mio-Pliocene Neohipparion sp. calcaneum.
