digit Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Seems rather large for a horse (to me) and I'm wondering if it might be something else. @Harry Pristis Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be cow/bison. I figured someone here would have an eye for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I concur with Bison. It's too stout for horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 the supracondylar fossa on the distal humerus of cow seems much deeper than in his fossil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrehistoricWonders Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Bovid possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrake40 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 The more I compare the more I am leaning toward horse due to the distal end morphology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
