Possibly Predator


Shellseeker

Recommended Posts

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?

Jack, you're not going out? Is your county on lockdown?

 

I've been playing around in Zolfo and there is still plenty of activity in and near the river.

I have not been out since Wednesday for multiple reasons: I am attempting to placate my wife because 1) I have "stored" hundreds of ziplocks from last year on a side porch and she is getting more insistent about cleaning it up; she does not believe that I am serious enough about self_quarantine; the governor has issued a stay at home order for anyone over 65 with secondary conditions and I qualify; and my normal hunting partners are skittish. We picked up our 1st 2 cases on my island on Thursday.

Going out today to a location that is extremely isolated. I will be amazed if I see any other person. I heard that Fort Meade Park is closed to parking .  What is the status of Zolfo Pioneer Park?

Harry, I no longer believe this bone is cat.  In this thread,

http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/79320-pleistocene-toe-bone/

I found another of your excellent photos. The metapodial on the right , although smaller, seems to be a pretty close match. Do you think my bone could be  H. septentrionalis metapodial?
