Jwfossils Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The kids and I were recently on a sandbar in the Kansas river and came across some bones. I believe there are bison bones, though some may be more modern. the first is appears to be a vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Looks like bison vertebrae and femur to me, but I am way short of being an expert with bones idntification, so wait for some others to respond.
