Micah Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This definitely isn't completely fossilized (maybe not even at all smelled bad when I did flame test) but I figured someone on here would be able to help me figure out what is is. I found it on a sandbar in a creek here in southeast Nebraska. My initial thought was cow or bison femur, but I can't match it with any bones on the web that I've found. It is 14 inches long and is massive and heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Horse or bovid (cow?) seem to be the likely choices. I believe, with high confidence, this is a horse distal femur. 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...
Micah Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 @Harry Pristis Looking at this diagram I believe you are correct! Thank you, lol it's been driving me crazy since it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to figure out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
