ID of fossil found in northeast Nevada, possibly Miocene

[Cenozoicguy]

Found this in northeast Nevada on the surface during a survey. Believe to be Miocene or older.

Possibly a carpal or tarsal?

Hi,

interesting piece.

No idea what it is, but nice lichen.

Best Regards,

It was found in northeast Nevada while doing a paleontological survey. Most of the rock types we have encountered were Miocene in age.

Isn't this the same one you posted yesterday?

TOPICS MERGED.  One is enough. 

Sometimes, patience is required.

Not sure there is enough there, or if it is well preserved enough to hazard much of a guess on this.

Doesn't look like the fossil bone I am used to seeing here on the Forum.

I don't recognize the object . . . I'm not even confident it is bone, based on the images.

Well, I tried t get more pics of fossil since no one liked the other ones. I am pretty sure it is a fossil, but not one I am familiar with. I was thinking it was a carpal or tarsal. It was found in northeast Nevada and the age is estimated to be Miocene. We have found horse, camel, rhinoceros, and oreodont on this field work.

I have to agree with Harry
