vasili1017 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I have a feeling this is modern. Its heavy, but doesn't feel rock solid. In any case, anyone have any idea what it belongs to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachster Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It looks like a hinge for an elbow for a fore arm. But for a 4 legged animal it would probably be a front leg equivalent. Want to learn about fossil prep? Then check out my blog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 This looks like a deer bone - most likely recent. Doesn't take long in the creeks to turn that brown color. Sorry, I'm not good with bone names/anatomy. Metatarsal/metacarpal?

tmaier Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 So what are the opinions about the break? It looks like a fracture after fossilization, rather than of green bone. But I'm not a bone person, so what are the opinions out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Tim got the ID right to the animal, Zachster got the bone right. It's the distal end of a deer humerus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
