diginupbones Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’ve done quite a bit of looking online but can’t seem to get an ID on this one. It almost has to be either mammoth,mastodon or rhino but I’m not sure which bone it is. Found in North Central Nebraska. Miocene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerPaleo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Not sure mastodon/mammoth but it is a proboscidean calcaneus, aka heel bone. Nice find! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! @ParkerPaleoIt makes sense now why I wasn’t having much luck online, I kept searching ankle bone. After looking at photos I can see now right where that fits into the foot. I knew this was something special right when I picked it up. Probably one of my top 10 finds! I have a similar bone I found nearby that I will post up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
