Opabinia Blues Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hello, This is the proximal head of a fossilized femur that I bought a few months back at a rock shop. The only collection info I know is that it’s from Florida, and by the looks of it it’s probably from the Peace River. After doing some amateur study I’m pretty sure this is the end of a horse femur, though of course I have been very wrong before and so would like some more thoughts/opinions. Unfortunately the place where the third trochanter would be is broken off which makes identification more difficult. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure now that my fossil is from Equus. Do you have a source for the original? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
