Phalanx Bone.


Phitoplancton

Recommended Posts

Just at a quick glance, looks like a second phalanx of Bison.

Harry will post a comparative picture for you, I'm sure.

The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

Second. Notice the ridge between the two articular facets on the proximal end? A first phalanx has a groove between the facets, for the keel on the metapodial. Also, the first phalanx is longer and relatively more gracile than the second.

Phitoplancton- I am green with envy on the bones you are finding! Great stuff I think. Put a truck load of sand in a shipping container and send it over here! :) lol

You have a middle (= second) phalanx that looks bovid. Compare with these:

Yes, Carl, but do you know the plural of "atlas" without looking it up?
