White River Femur


Max fragmento

Recommended Posts

Hello FF

 

This is a a recent find from private land near Lusk Wyoming.   Lots of Oreodonts and turtles in the area.   I think it is a distal femor.   I think.  The shaft feels too thin for the heft of the epiphyseal end.  A condyle is broken off on one side.   The patellar groove(if I am right about it being a femur) seems so much on the end of bone rather than rolling around from the cranial aspect like I expect with mammals.    Thoughts

Somehow I missed this post.  Yes, it looks like a distal femur, but I cannot say which animal.
