ClearLake Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The first one is an astragalus. Could be bison. Check out @Harry Pristis album here and see if you can find a good match: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/gallery/album/2-bones/ The second item looks like a pig jaw. I am not well versed in the history of pigs or pig like animals in the US during the Pleistocene. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think this fossil bed has had some old civil war farm dump- thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I agree with ClearLake, domestic pig jaw and bovid astragalus. 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...
