Another nice bone picked up from my neighbor. He has no information about where and when. He was told Rhino. I don't think so. Thoughts?

More views would be useful for a positive ID.

I can see, Max, that you're trying to help us to help you with an ID. The best way to photograph these bones is straight-on . . . perpendicular views of the heads, left and right, plus views down the long axis of the bone from both ends. The heads of the bone are what matter. Provide dimensions for the heads of the bone.

The full view of the bone is secondary if you simply provide the total length.

Also, scales without the units indicated are not useful.

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

I am resubmitting pictures of a nice femur. No collecting information. Acquired from old neighbor. He was told it was a rhino but I am dubious. Thanks for any help.
