PODIGGER Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Found the below small bone in the Peace River,FL this week. After searching the forum and online I believe it is a medial phalanx. It measures 14mm x 22mm. The only similar size one I found a photo of was created and posted by @Harry Pristis. The one I felt was possible was that of Archaeohippus (3 toed horse). Last spring I found an incisor from a three toed horse in the same area. I know @Shellseeker has done a good bit of research on these small horses and hope he can also offer an opinion.

Harry Pristis Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looks to me like a tapir toe. 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...
PODIGGER Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks Harry. I’ll look for some examples for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The breadth of my pre_Equus horse collection consists of teeth including incisors, cannon bone fragments and a few tarpals/carpals. I have found no phalanx, so I am unsure what they look like (Equus ?), but more significant the size. Sorry, I have little to contribute.

Harry Pristis Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Okay . . . I photographed some medial phalanges from my drawer. 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...
PODIGGER Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks Harry! Looks like a match. Your photo presentations are always great reference tools. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
