SE Texas - Another small metacarpal/metatarsal?

Here's another small bone that I found.  I'm not sure if it's a metacarpal/metatarsal?? Some images online use the same image but both words. But it is a small one and I'm not sure if deer would be the owner. Could be... I'm just not aware that it could be that small. Size is 3/4 inches wide and 1.5 inches in length. It does have some mineralization to it. Found where I find Pleistocene material.

Looks like deer to me. Texas deer generally are small compared to northern white tail.

Ouch! That hurts.  But it's true. :ighappy:

These are just larger than yours, 1 and just over 1 inches wide, both white tail deer from SE Texas.
