Caallison Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 These pictures are one a fossil a work friend gave to me. He said he dug this up, on the opposite side of where I dig, twenty years ago when the plant first opened (I was 2 to 3). I'm thinking medium sized mammal, somewhere in the cloven hoof family. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't quite look right to me as a distal tibia. But maybe I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
