Yet More Horse of Course?

Horse humerus?

Seems rather large for a horse (to me) and I'm wondering if it might be something else. @Harry Pristis

 

 

Cheers.

Probably bison humerus

Yeah - hard to tell for me with the proximal end damage. Could be cow/bison. I figured someone here would have an eye for it!

I concur with Bison. It's too stout for horse.

the supracondylar fossa on the distal humerus of cow seems much deeper than in his fossil

For further comparison:

Bovid possibly?

[dbrake40]

The more I compare the more I am leaning toward horse due to the distal end morphology.

I'm thinking horse now too. I think the deltoid tuberosity is more extended in your specimen like @Harry Pristis highlighted.

 

I ran and took some photos of one of the random Bison humerus I have lying around for comparison. Naturally they're more bovid like in the subdued deltoid tuberosity. Different humerus but you get the idea.
