Camel partial tibia? Late Pleistocene Northern Lithuania
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, Few months ago I found this partial tibia that is 20 cm length and has less protuberant central ridge than auroch or horse. The other interesting feature is oblong shallow pit in the side of central ridge and also smooth surface of plain bone part when horses have horizontal wrinkles of bone and bison or auroch has longitudinal waves in the same surface part. The frontal protuberant ridge, its low height and visible oblong pit in the side makes me think it should belong to camel but the only camel genus of European Pleistocene is Paracamelus that is found in Romania. If anyone knows Pleistocene mammals well and has comparative material, please help to confirm this bone or identify as another taxon. Any help will be very appreciated! Best Regards Domas- 12 replies
