ColoradoRuss Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hello all. I've tried and tried to get the ID on this on my own and just don't have the experience. I dug this out of a gravel layer in the Peace River in Hardee County, Florida two weeks ago (early January, 2023). Some of the contours seem like an astragalus (horse, camel, ...) but the more museum photos I see the less sure I am. Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share. The pics are a little overexposed (intentionally) to show the shape, so the color appears lighter in the pics than in reality. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Sorry, Russ . . . I've dealt with many, many bones from the Peace River, but I don't recognize this find. If it is a common bone -- like an astragalus -- it is too worn to identify. 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...
Brandy Cole Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The base of the third picture reminds me of the articulation of a phalanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I’m gonna go against the grain here and say it looks like a vertebral process to me. Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Elu Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Not familiar with this location, but second and fifth picture both remind me of a phalanx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
