Unknown bones

Recommended Posts

Purchased together as one lot a long time ago from online auction, was also sold as unknown bones. If you need a better photo of anything let me know. I did the repair as well with hydrocal as it was broken. Zero smell with burn test on both. Curious if someone could share opinoin ?

they look like fossils that i have seen from the white river area nebraska.  i feel like i should recognize the bones but i am having trouble.  can you try to get some more photos,  from straight above the individual bones  Harry Pristis  should be able to help.

The specimens look like they are from the Oligocene badlands of (  South Dakota or Nebraska or Wyoming ). In the first photo the right hand specimen is from a perissoactyl(odd toed hoofed ungulates).  Judging by size I would say it is from the medium sized rhino Subhyracodon occidentalis and the bone is second or forth metacarpal. I can't tell what the other specimen is.
