johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Found this small toe bone (phalanx) today in an area where I find a bunch of Pleistocene mammal bones. It is rock solid. Heavily mineralized. Unfortunately, the business ends are eroded and worn. Hopefully these photos will help with an ID. It is 50 mm or 1.99 inches from end to end. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Didn't think it has the curvature for a predator. So perhaps a prey such as deer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
