Kayanddogs Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi everyone. i was at an estate sale today and acquired this real bone wall hanging.. I can't think of any creature with projection out its back. This boney projections are from 8" to 9" in length. Can anyone make some suggestions?

tmaier Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm not a bones expert, but those look like deer vertebrae to me. Might be Whitetail deer or Mule deer. You don't see that ridge of bones when the animal is alive, because muscles are attached and create that large area over the shoulders. https://www.google.com/search?q=deer+skeleton&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1&tbm=isch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayanddogs Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi Chief so you think these are from the cervicle area of the deer ? Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayanddogs Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi Chief again nevermind, just googled deer skeleton. That must had been a big one to have a 9" thick muscle. Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batfossil Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Could be any of the larger bovids or horse; cow would be my first guess. They are thoracic vertebrae--facets for the ribs are visible near the upper portions of the vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
