dbrake40 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Another post regarding a specimen I found posted on a Facebook fossil ID page - which no one in the group can ID. This was found in a river in Iowa. Most of what is found in the area is Pleistocene to modern. My first though was part of a turtle shell attachment point? But I am stuck.

Harry Pristis Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It's an Equus ectocuneiform, an ankle bone, and a rather large one. Probably not a Pleistocene horse. 6 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrake40 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thank you! Believe it or not, that was the first thing I searched. I was looking for photos of horse wrist bones and could not find a match. Thanks for the information! Who's photo collection did the above image come from? Is it from this site?

Coco I don't think this image is in the TFF Gallery. The image was intended to support an offer on our favorite auction site. The variety of bones is a collection I put together to sell -- the core of a comparison collection, mostly from the Peace River. I never did offer it, and now I find the image useful for ID purposes from time to time. Here are some earlier offerings that are sold -- if they are useful to someone here for identification purposes, I'd consider that responsible recycling. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
