j.j.jones Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have no experience identifying fossils/bones, but while hiking near the Olentangy River recently, in Franklin County, Ohio, USA, I noticed what appeared to be a "thumb" consisting of three bones that appeared to have recently been uncovered as the dirt and debris surrounding the area where I noticed it was slightly disturbed. I've taken a series of pictures of it, and it appears to be possibly a thumb-like appendage, but the end bone is triangular and somewhat resembles a shark tooth. Curious if anybody may be able to identify what these bones may belong to, as I haven't the slightest clue. I apologize if these photos don't have the correct measurements, but I can try and find another measuring tool and submit additional photos if required. Thank you.

Fossildude19 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 These are foot bones from a recent white tailed deer.
