Mahnmut Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 To narrow it down a little bit more, of the animals that do have so called cannonbones, its not a horse, leaving only Artiodactyla, even toed ungulates like bovids, deer and kin. The articulating surface as well as the bones cavity show the longitudinal division between the two digits this bone evolved from.
