I think these are all pisiform bones but I’m not 100% sure. @Harry Pristis, I looked at some of your older posts about these bones but the shapes didn’t seem to match these. first one measures 68 mm x 54 mm. Second one measures 52 mm x 43 mm. The last one is 44 mm x 34 mm

I usually go hunting 2-3 times a week, and normally I find a couple of fossils that I do not recognize or even when I do recognize a fossil as an ankle bone, I am just not sure what it is.... But sometimes, I identify them anyways. I use one of the numerous outstanding photos provided by @Harry Pristis. Here is one of them, and then using the above chart, a couple of recent finds identified by the above chart.... Harry's continuing contributions of clear and effective pictures are one of the real strengths of TFF. Thanks Harry.

Have half-heartedly been watching the super bowl and going thru some garage boxes simultaneously trying to put some more detailed names to some bone scraps that are from Florida that I've picked up in the past couple years. Mio/Plio-Pleistocene. 1) Seems to be the end of a long bone with half of the joint broken off...chunk is 52mm long...has a 37mm diameter for the half circular end. I'm guessing too small for a horse...maybe a llama/deer? Its pretty worn/broken but wondering if there is anything that may give a clue to its owner? 2) Has a thick stubby worn look to it but seems to flare out towards a non worn end. I suppose it could be the end of a bone but thats out of my league. Any chance its actually a pisiform? 35mm thick, 40mm wide, 50mm long 3) Seems to have different features/look/texture to it on every side. I'm not sure if I'm seeing different wear patterns or maybe its unworn and those are functional/diagnostic features? Is does to appear to have a small semi-flat ridge crescent shape on one side of it. Could this be another type of pisiform? 11mm wide along the crescent. 14mm thick, 40mm long. Think I've exhausted my guessing for the evening. Any comments/help are/is welcomed. Thanks! EDIT---looks like my experimenting with panorama continues to cause problems...for some reason they look fuzzy in the post but when you do full size they look better. I can add individual photos if any of these prove to be worthy of such scrutiny.....will hold off for now. Regards, Chris
