Large unknown chunk of mammal bone


Caallison

Recommended Posts

I found this chunk of bone while excavating the pile of overburden where i originally found the contact end of a large shoulder blade. This sight has also yielded a vertebrae that i will post in the comments. I am, as usual, stumped at trying to identify what kind of bone this used to be. My mom says it reminders her of the wings of a pelvic bone. unfortunately there are not a lot of great pictures of the pelvic bones of large mammals on the internet. What do you all think?

I am a rookie, but to me it kind of looks like a scapula bone, possibly from a bison, or similar animal.

I agree that looks like to be a piece of scapula.

Do we have an idea which end it is? when i first found it I thought that it might be the (end) of the scapula, they didn't fit together but I am more than likely missing connecting pieces.
