Sav Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I found this on the beach in North Carolina. I am fairly certain is it some type of bone. Can anyone help me identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanotyrannus35 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Does kind of look like a bone. Seeing as it was found in North Carolina, it might be whale. Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sav Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Is porous and light. It has the density of what I think a bone would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 It appears to be a juvenile (not yet fused to the shaft) epiphysis from a deer (most likely) distal tibia. 4 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...

Indeed... distal tibia epiphysis. Deer is a likely candidate... modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
