Went browsing around yesterday on a small bank I've looked at a thousand times just because I had the itch to do something I enjoyed doing personally and before I went home and had my twins thrown in my arms after work. I enjoy that too but I've been eager to get outdoors on the river. Easter weekend it's on! So I just stumbled down the bank not expecting to find anything and saw these two guys hanging out together... a severely worn glyptodont osteoderm and a nice, colorful Equus tooth. They were maybe an inch from each other. What a pair.

I found this small bone today here in SE Texas on a river gravel bank. Pleistocene material usually found here. It is mineralized. It measures about 2.5 inches in length and 1.5 inches across. I thought ulna but from images I've seen online they seem longer in shape and this seems to curve outward at the bottom quickly like the bottom of a calcaneus bone. The facet part seems quite large in comparison to how thin it is. Any thoughts on it? It's pretty small. I'm still searching images to find anything similar... maybe someone knows what it is?

I found this huge and VERY heavy bone today on a river gravel bar here in SE Texas. I think it is a mammoth unciform but wanted to confirm. It's a first find for me. It's huge! And I can't believe how perfect it is... hardly any wear and tear considering it's age and how most other river finds are beat up pretty bad and eroded. This is a nice piece whatever it is. Any help appreciated. Size is 6x5x5 inches Sorry so many pics wanted all views possible.

Size is: 35 cm across left to right and 45 cm top to bottom I found this tooth the other day on a SE Texas River gravel bar. I think it's Equus. I haven't found any pre-Equus and I don't think this is that. But could this perhaps be the last tooth in the row of teeth due to it's shape at the chewing end? Also... could it be worn down and is the reason for it's size?

I found this little beauty today on a gravel bank that's (little by little) being more exposed due to some serious flooding here in SE Texas and now the river is finally going down. Size is: 35 mm x 30 mm and 20 mm height It's pretty cool to see the interior... it's as smooth as glass. I don't think it's cow... I haven't found any cow with these colors. I do think it's bison based on size and the mineralization of it. Again only horse, camelid/Llama, and bison have produced colorful material. I need to study up on rhino roots since that's all I pretty much have here....roots... a shame. Would've been a nice tooth if it were complete. Beaumont Formation River gravel bank

So I went out to a spot yesterday on Valentine's Day after work here in SE Texas to a spot with newly exposed gravel after our recent flood. That's where I found the deer tine on the ID section. Thought I'd share some of what else I found. 1. A nice bison tooth that's 2.75 inches in length. Nice colors to it. Big Ole boy. 2. Glyptotherium osteoderm. Bigger than my last one 3. Cervical vertebra - solid mineralization - thinking Equus but will research it 4. And a crazy little solid vertebra that's unusual. One day I'm going to really try hard to identify some of these really unique vertebrae that I have. But I'll post this to the ID section. Other stuff as well like turtle shell fragments and other bone frags. I didn't have much time to check this spot out good so hopefully I can this weekend and find something better.

I found this Wednesday after work and a few other things I'll be posting here in SE Texas on a river gravel bank. It's completely mineralized. Very solid. My initial reaction was that it's a canine...perhaps missing the enamel which I've seen on canines before. Plus I am pretty good about finding beat up worn down fossils. Also why I think it might be a canine is the end of the root... closed off/rounded off like the jaguar canine I found and I can't get past the line where enamel would have ended going completely around it. It also has a nice curve and my thinking was that it might be bear...perhaps black bear which I have found a molar here. OR... could it just be a deer tine and nothing more and there's not much debate about it? Size is 65 mm or about 1.5 inches in length. Straight line. I'm good either way it's just unusual and I had ask. I think a broken tine is open at the end? Matrix on it comes off. Root looks similar as my jaguar tooth last pic

Welp... the river is still up... can even see the banks yet. Haven't been out in a long time and more rain is expected. I did see a sliver of gravel poking thru the water so I had to wade out to it today and found a few things. The river went up to almost 40 feet and stayed that way for some time so when it all goes back down to about 7... I expect to find some really good stuff. I found this little bone today. Thought gator vertebra but after a search it didn't match. Then I saw a thread where @Shellseekerhad found a small bone and mine might be similar. Could this be a tail bone? Did you ever get a match for yours? I think it was left at possible cat, deer, horse? Or... could this something else? Thanks for any thoughts. Size is 1.25" in length Beaumont Formation

Size is 42 mm in length 20mm across chewing surface I found this little tooth today. Nice colors on it. It's not horse, bison, or cow. I think it's an artiodactyl.... camelid/llama? Pleistocene material found here.

I found this little bone Friday on a river gravel bank. It's completely mineralized. I've found similar small bones that I thought were deer. Horse is much larger as are cow and bison. Deer is usually what's left to think of that's most common. This probably is deer but I had a question or two. A metatarsal looks like it has grooves on both sides while the metatacarpal has a grooved side and a rounded side to put it simply. I couldn't tell from online examples but does this groove exist in deer? (Marked with a red arrow) I know the hole does but I couldn't tell if there was this groove on a deer bone. Also is this pathological? It seems to go off in a different direction marked with a blue arrow. Size is: 75mm in length (fragment) 25 cm wide at the end
