Short Stalk Humerus Found Along Sandy River In Central Oklahoma, Us
bothrops07 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I'm fairly certain this is a humerus, but to what? I am a herpetologist and spend a lot of time along rivers. I came across this today as I was searching for frogs, and I decided to hang on to it to ID it. So far, I have been unsuccessful and I assume you guys are way better at this than me. The bone/fossil doesn't feel as heavy as most fossils I have come across, but it is definitely heavier than bone. It is completely black underneath the crispy tan layer shown in the photographs. It was found in an area along the river bank that had recently been washed out due to recent rains. So I'm not certain if it originated high above the bank or in the wet sand. Thank you, Buddy
