It is a Toe Bone found in the Brule Formation Custer County, South Dakota. It’s dated to be from 35-30 million years old. The Bone is small, only 1.6 centimeters. I’m not sure what species it is, if anyone possibly knows or know a species it can’t be it would help a lot.

Another great day in the sunshine with friends. Kayaking in a slow current, finding chest deep water, sun shining, a few drops of rain. The deep water is aerobic exercise for me, really helps my back both during and after. We were in 2 locations. One was chest deep , finding mostly small shark teeth. I think there are a couple of Tiger shark parasymphyseals/symphyseals there, some nice Hemis/Tigers...and one of my friends found the beat_up Horse tooth and asked if I thought it was pre_Equus. I said I was not sure but I would give someone on TFF an opportunity to answer. @Meganeura Have you looked at enough fossettes and plications to hazard a guess on Equus or not? Slight variation on angle for 2nd photo We hunting the morning at the 1st spot, and after eating lunch, I headed downstream to a place we had hunted extensively and friends avoided because it was "hunted" out. But I had some great memories there of black enamel, black rooted megs, and I could bask in the memories hunting old locations... My 1st sieve had the 2.5 inch Meg !!! Nothing better than Luck. There was a top layer of 4-6 inches of gravel.. I quickly picked up a piece of fossilized, a large dolphin vert, the process of a dugong Vert to join the Meg. The detail on all of these is excellent, meaning no water erosion for a couple of million years. Tells me a lot about where they came from.....A photo of the Meg taken on the river... I am trying to identify that toe bone or hoof core.....it only has 3 sides to photo.... 1st photo has an articulation, last photo is concave, middle photo convex. @PODIGGER Jim, I am hoping that you can help me here. Seems like you see a lot of bones... Which way is down ? Which way is up? Thanks Jack

I had not been in the Peace River for a month. Cool weather, had covid which made me weak, busy with other responsibilities. I went with two friends. The River is very low, clear in most spots. We chose to go back to a place where we had found a lot of pretty black on black Megs 5-6 years ago. Also had Mammoth and Mastodon fossils. One of us found just a few little shark teeth, a marble, and a beat up Llama tooth. Another found LOTS of little shark teeth and 2 or 3 distressed Megs. Great day, Sunshine , good friends , cool water. I could hear a Hoot Owl in mid afternoon. Here are my finds, some interesting, I kept thining that I would find a complete meg 2-2.5 inches... there were lots of pieces, but it never happened. That resembles a Hubble Meg. So, 2 plates of Mammoth, a chunk of Mastodon and I am thinking Mammoth leg bone but one friend suggested Vert. Picked it off the bottom in 2 feet of water..There is a very small toe bone, I'll try to ID in a week or so. A shiny Equus lower right m3 about 30 mm which seems small for an Equus m3. A piece of Ray mouthplace, and a VERY warn dolphin petrosal. Just sharing the day , showing some finds. This location has had a lot of hunting activity and it is not easy to find fossils. The Peace river is an old friend and always seems to welcome me back with a fossil or two. One friend had a great find a week back.. He agreed to let me post a photo on TFF. Very special version of a rare fossil. Enjoy.

Found these toe bones my last trip out. First one is a proximal phalanx, I’m mostly sure it’s felid, and given the size, bobcat makes sense. Second is a medial phalanx, and it’s too thin and long to be deer, so I’m really not sure what it is. 1) Possible bobcat proximal phalanx - 17.55mm/0.6” 2) Medial phalanx, unknown, 27.6mm/1.1” @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker Thanks in advance!

Out yesterday, found some odds and ends for ID... Tooth.... Note the serrations. A Barb or something else... Toe bone... I cleaned it with a water_bleach solution... Glad I did as the texture became clearer.... I have seen a MUCH larger version of this fossil, just hope it also comes a a smaller version...

3rd of the bones from this site... A toe bone that seems off_center... Is it a medial or proximal phalanx ? I do not see space for a retractable claw. Which mammals have toe bones at 40 min length.

Stuck home, sorting hundreds of ziplock bags from last year. WOW, how did I forget these. A toebone that I think is predator and if so, a robust predator --- This is a toebone, think of the size of yours. and in the same Ziplock, a jaw segment. As far as I can tell the width of the Jaw around the alveoli is unbroken. Who recognizes this m2-m3?
