austinswamp Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello I found these bones maybe 15 feet at the bottom of a wall along the San Marcos River in Southeast/Central TX. This band in the river has produced Mastadon and equus fossils. Hoping for an identification. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiros Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The one on the left is an horse metapodial 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyc Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 If yo post a pic of the end of the bone on the right, you’ll likely get an ID of horse metapodial also. I think you have the distal and proximal ends and they almost look like they could fit together 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zone is a known peat bog, with artesian springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiros Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Are you sure you can't attach the two pieces together because they both are horse metapodial but the two different epiphysis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
