DSMJake Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 My first thought was proboscidean carpal, but wasn’t sure. Missouri creek find. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Mammoth should have similarities and differences, but compare to this mastodon left astragalus and left cuboid. 3 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think it IS a mammoth astragalus. I have only a mastodont astragalus to compare. The mastodont bone is considerably larger, so I suspect your find is from a younger mammoth. There are many more fossil elephantoid teeth than astragali to be found. 6 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...
