RichW9090 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ungual phalanx of an artiodactyl - some other views would help, along with some measurements. 1 The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) It's about 3.5 inches long. Here's a link to more pictures. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201824309791783&set=a.10201824308271745.1073741827.1303574021&type=3&theater At first I thought it was a shark tooth or a raptor claw Edited August 25, 2013 by Topaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Well, at that size, it would have to be Bison/Bos or one of the camels. It appears to be Bison/Bos. This is a perfect example of why measurements or a scale is so important - I figured it was on graph paper (sometimes a digital camera will pick up only one set of lines on graph paper) and that the bone was an inch or less in length, and I was thinking deer.
