Buffalo Rear Knee Bones?

[paul-waxahachie]

Does anyone have a step by step photo or diagram of how the astragalus, calcaneus and tarsals fit together in the Buffalo hind leg?

I have found so many leg and vertebrae - but the the 2nd phalanx and "Hoof Bone" or third phalanx - these seem almost impossible to find in Texas and Oklahoma.

I finally found enough (almost), to put a rear leg together.

I don't know if this helps much but might give you some more insight.

That's my favorite Buffalo bone site. I used it all summer to ID any unknown Buffalo bones. It's sketchy on how those particular bones fit together.

Thanks for responding ....and happy fossil hunting!
