OHDave Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I found this bone on the shore of the Wolf River in TN near the Dale Hollow reservoir. Curious to know what it might be. The bone looks fossilized but I have no idea. Any ideas what this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHDave Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thank You. I looked at cow humerus images but did not look at bison. I found an image of a bison humerus that looks exactly like this. The next question I have is how long ago were bison wondering around TN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerPaleo Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Very recently in geologic terms. There were still native bison in the area in the 1800s. https://centerhillsun.com/2016/05/12/buffalo-at-home-on-tn-highlands/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
