Harry Pristis Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This appears to be the distal end of a tibia. I think it is from a bovid, a bison or a cow, with a fairly high degree of confidence. 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...

Drizzt0000 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 But I wasn't sure cause there are lots of live stock around as well,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzt0000 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just identified it and it looks exactly like a bison tibia. Found a few pics online that are 100% a match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm curious to know what features you used to distinguish it from Bos. I found a couple of things to look at on the proximal end but the distal ends look very similar for Bos and Bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 BobWill makes a good observation. Size is everything. Give us the dimensions across the widest part, side-to-side, in both directions. 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...

Harry Pristis Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 No, give us the actual dimensions, preferably in millimeters. Buy yourself a caliper at Harbor Freight for about $10.00 . . . You will find a caliper to be an invaluable tool. 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...
