Rasmu004 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Greetings, I found this bone on property where cattle used to feed and where bison were native to. This was found in the side bank of a washout and roughly 1 ft below surface grade. A friend went to track for it and it snapped upon grabbing it and the other portion is still buried. It is currently frozen so I am unable to dig further into the bank to reveal more of the bone. It appears to be fairly old and the inside is hollowed out. I was wondering if anyone may be able to identify it based on side and shape. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossillarry Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Probably a bison but could be camel metacarpal 3/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 You provided an image of every aspect of the fragment except the view we need: the articulating surface.
