hndmarshall Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 found a few interesting things need identifying.... found in gravel from the Brazos river east of Houston Texas. First is a possible toe bone?, Bone fragment. second is a tooth. Possible Bison but I think it looks more equine??. could be wrong though. third is a possible small coprolite? passes the tacky test and when magnifies looking at a small chip in it there are orange and black colors inside can get pics if needed.

jacob86795 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The first picture is a fragment of bone, which are difficult to identify, however the second picture is of a molar. It might be from a mammoth however I am unsure, Pleistocene material is not my expertise. The last picture is coprolite you are correct, likely from a turtle. Others on the forum can better id the molar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The tooth is very definitely an Equus molar (upper). https://www.google.com/search?q=equus+molar&tbm=isch Cheers. -Ken 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 On your bone, it is a stretch with so little remaining but, it might be a deer calcaneum.

Brandy Cole Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The first picture looks like it could be a very worn hoof core to me, but I do think it's too worn to confirm an identification with any certainty. And as Ken said, the second is a horse molar. Neat finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
