cayosusa Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Found these fairly close together in the Peace River. I think #1 is mammoth toe bone (height 3 1/4"). Need help with ID. Dn't have a clue what the other two are - ???related??? I know, i know, #2 looks like it came from a BBQ with those smooth skills cut edges! What do you think?

digit Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm liking the look of #1 which seems appropriately shaped (and a decent size). One of the knowledgeable members will chime-in soon. The middle bone (#2) is not part of this assemblage as it is clearly a vertebra (with most of the processes broken off). Additionally, #3 looks intriguing. Better lit photos (take them outside and take advantage of daylight--much brighter than the flash on a camera) of #1 and #3 from a variety of angles will help. I think you've got a good chance for something really cool with these. I'd be going back to that spot on the Peace River this weekend if I were you. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Humm, perhaps you'd better send them to me for closer scrutiny. Can't tell you for sure but #1 does look like a digit bone of something large, #2 is looking like a cetacean vertebra and I can not make out #3. Better lit pictures may help.

Shellseeker Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 See the 1st fossil requested for ID in this thread : It is the same as your 3rd Photo -- Sloth Phalanx, a toe bone See this thread -- I found a Mastodon Metapodial which might ??? be the same as your 1st bone. I am reasonably sure on the Sloth Phalanx, somewhat less convinced on the Metapodial. It is always difficult to identify a random bone. This forum makes it possible to do so. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
