RamiK Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi, I found this bone on June 5th 2021 in Eastern Finland during a field survey of a historical site. Can anyone help identify the mammal species of the bone? The scale is 30 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 How heavy is it. It almost has the look of one of a long bone from one of the heavier birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Looks to me like a large bird humerus. 1 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 No wonder it looked familiar. I've got a wild turkey wing on the wall as a decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamiK Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 The bone has now been identified by an osteologist as the humerus of a Whooper swan. Thanks for the replies received. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
