MSirmon Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Bone of some kind. I've not seen this type shape so don't even know where to start looking . The bone was found in a rock pile appx 20-25 feet off he snake River in Hoback, WY. This was found on private property and with owners permission. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Osteobyte Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 This is an ungulate's distal humerus. A good match for bison/cow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah,this is no way Paleocene or Cretaceous. This is either modern or Pleistocene. Distal humerus of a cow/bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
