Can anyone tell me if this is a crocodile tibia bone Fossil id
Christian2107 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have what i think is a crocodile tibia but i am not sure. I have spoken with some people that sats it’s not from a crocodile. I wonder if anyone could help me tell what it really is. All the info i have on it, is on the picture (the paper) -
I am a university student studying T. rex, so of course, I ran into the Nanotyrannus debate. People have been arguing about Nanotyrannus being valid, but there's a huge problem: No adult specimen. Unless someone has an adult, or even a subadult, specimen of Nanotyrannus (over 15 years old), it isn't a real genus. This is why I am here. I know people collect fossils and post pics of them on here, so I'm willing to see what people may, or may not, have. My question is: Does anybody have an adult Nanotyrannus specimen? In simpler terms, does anybody have a Nanotyrannus fe

Mammal Proximal tibia and distal femur (unrelated individuals)
acetabular posted a topic in Fossil ID
Two limb bone fragments from the Eocene deposits in the Big Horn Basin. Mammalian, but don't know anything more beyond that. Would really appreciate help! -
Previously identified as an Equus tibia. I originally assumed the articular surfaces had been eroded away by the river however I recently compared this to other Equus tibias I’ve collected from the same river and they do not exhibit this pattern of erosion. In fact, the articular surfaces of the other specimens are very much intact showing little more than a polish from the river. Looking at the texture of the exposed cancellous bone at the ends of this tibia and comparing it to that of isolated epiphyseal plates I have collected I’m thinking this tibia is from a juvenile. The articular su

Hi, I found this bone on June 5th 2021 in Eastern Finland during a field survey of a historical site. Can anyone help identify the mammal species of the bone? The scale is 30 cm.

The ends are a little eroded but I'm thinking this is an Equus tibia?

For those of you that hunt rivers and creeks in the Midwest how often do you find horse remains? These three humeri were all found within a 2-mile stretch of a river within about a two year period - along with many other random tarsals, a femur, multiple tibia, and several teeth...

Found on river gravel bar in Sothern Minnesota. I know its a partial tibia - any ideas on species? Sus maybe? Sediments in the area range from cretaceous to holocoen with a good amount of Wisconsin lobe glacial till. Previously we have found bison, mammoth, and ancient horse...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum and fossils in general, so need all the help I can get! Found this on the coast in the UK today. It appears to be the fossilised end of a limb bone. It's heavy, nearly a 1lb, and is as hard as rock. It's 4.5 inches long (11.5cm) and 2.5 inch widest. Any help from the keen fossil minds on this forum would be fantastic.

Hello, I posted this before, but my thread was too disjointed for comfort so I am posting again. I found this bone end (I think it is a tibia) with some other ice age bits and ends and have no idea what it came from. Im pretty sure it is not bovid, from what I am familiar with. Anything could help, and this was found on a riverbed in NE Kansas.

I believe the long bone in these pictures is a horse (tibia). Correct - thoughts on the cut marks? Look modern?

Im trying to identify these fossils. I'm thinking that they are from a rhino species. Can anybody confirm or recognise these as something else? I have no information on them, but I'm guessing they are local South African and could have been found on the west coast miocene-pleistocene deposits as it looks like specimens from that area.

I’m hoping that this is a raptor tibia, as it was supposed to be. Can anyone help ID it? Also, I’m guessing that’s filler at the end, there, clearly seen in the 5th, or 2nd-to-last pic? Thanks in advance for any, and all help:)

I found this tibia(my girlfriend is an emergency vet and identified it as such, with a small amount of research I confirmed) half buried in the sand on a private beach adjacent to dash point in Washington on the shore of the southern end of Puget sound. My apologies I could not find a ruler with metric measurements. My main question is it seems small to be from a large mammal, but it does appear to be in great shape, so perhaps from a young animal. I’m I correct in assuming it’s an ice age mammal. I know there are tons of glacial deposits.

I live in the Northeast of the USA. I found this bone out in the forest yesterday and I’m having trouble identifying it due to its size. As shown in the photos, the bone looks very scratched up, probably chewed on, and both joints on each end have been snapped off. The bone was cracked down the middle, then fell off my counter which split it in half. I don’t have a metric ruler, but 12 inches is about 30 centimeters. If it had the joints I think it would be closer to 15 inches, or 38 centimeters. I was thinking it was a white tail deer tibia or possibly a femur (I was leaning more towards tibi

Another piece from the collection at work: Description given is Hadrosaur Tibia. It was in the collection before I started here. It is in 2 distinct pieces, and it has been that way the entire time, since the foam cutouts in its box are shaped for them. It has broken in other places, but I've fixed those with paleobond (although I do have pictures of the broken cross sections somewhere) I'm mostly looking to confirm or disprove whether or not it's existing ID is plausible, and maybe identifying which side (right/left) it's from.

hi there I could use some assistance with a pair of bone IDs. They're Cretaceous, reptile, from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco. Any help would be appreciated. I think the smaller of the two is a tibia? The second bone is in a reply to this post

Hi, I recently found what I believe is a possible Equine tibia on a piece of my family's land in western Pennsylvania. I work primarily with human skeletal remains so my paleo zooarchaeology skills may not be up to par compared to others that study the subject full time. I found the bone when I was digging holes to plant some trees; it was not found with any other bones or contextual clues. The habitat is a western Pennsylvania woodland forest that has very little development and was found during the fall. I would appreciate any feedback as to what exactly I have in my possession. Thank
