garyc Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) When I spotted this there was only about a 2 inch diameter piece exposed through the ground. I started digging and finally pulled out the camera to take some in situ shots. Based on size I will guess proboscidean limb bone. It's a little beat up, but maybe someone can tell me which bone this is. It measures 16 inches long. The head is 5 x 7 inches.

Harry Pristis Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sorry, Gary, I didn't look closely enough. It is a distal radius from a mammoth. I edited my original post to reflect this change. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
