Toe Bone, Phalanx


Shellseeker

Recommended Posts

An Interesting bone,

It does not seem to be predator, so I am thinking something like Tapir, Peccary, etc.  My biggest concern is that I have found pre_Equus horses, Gomphothere at this location and very little Pleistocene mammal material.  But we will see. It seems to be the size of and resemble Tapir toe bones.  I have copied one of @Harry Pristis excellent charts from another thread... Does it not look like a tapir phalanx?  Comments greatly appreciated.   Jack
