ATAG Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 This bone was found on Azov See shore, Russia. Probable geological age is late Neogene (Miocene or Pliocene). I don't know what this thing is: metacarpal, metatarsal or calcaneus? What a strange hooked process on the proximal epiphysis that is not characteristic of the metapodium? I'd like to get your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm pretty sure this is a calcaneum of some type of bovid. One part is broken off, which is why it looks weird. It looks a little too fat for deer imo. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had to look at the pix a few times... calcaneum or metapodial? The first picture sells me on calcaneum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
