Matterialpossesion Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 These fossils come from Botna Bend in IA, in the Nishnabotna River and are late Pleistocene age, can you all tell me what you think these peices are? From my tell its some kinda herbivore jaw chunk, maybe a horse hoof and this flat peice I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The last piece is an epiphyseal plate from a vertebra. Better (closer) images of the jaw fragment with teeth taken straight down from the occlusal (chewing) surface would be most helpful to get an ID on that piece. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Cole Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Three looks like it could possibly be a broken and worn fragment of a long bone to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hi, 3 is not a hoof core, but I see some resemblance to a central tarsal or maybe carpal bone. can you show us the other side aswell?

Kayak-IA Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I would consider the Platygonus compressus flat-headed peccary (Pleistocene) for the jaw/teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right, Brandy. I suspect that #3 is the distal end of a deer radioulna. 2 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...

CDiggs Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Pretty sure this one is a distal bovid radius- most likely bison I think.
