Frightmares Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Any ideas what this bone is? I found it on Casey Key, FL near Venice Beach. Looks modern. Thinking maybe an astragalus or epiphysis of a bone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikrogeophagus Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'm thinking some sort of mammal tarsal, but I'm no expert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PODIGGER Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 @EPIKLULSXDDDDD I can see why you are focusing on a possible tarsal. I am thinking more of a shell material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It is the distal end of a cannon bone, many animals have them. Horse, Llama/Camel. It might be from a tridactyl horse. @Harry Pristis certainly should look at it. 1 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It's the distal epiphysis from a young cow metapodial. 3 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...
