Ross M Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi! I found this near a marsh in the back bay of southern NJ. It is approx 1" x 3/4". Can anyone help ID it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Actually a toe (phalanx) bone. Someone that knows mammals should be able to identify it Welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Welcome to TFF! Looks like an ankle or toe bone to Me. If You can take pictures from all sides without the hand it may make an ID easier for someone that knows bones better than Me. @Harry Pristis PS @Troodon beat Me to the typing. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Harry Pristis Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Seems small for cow. I'm not certain about which artiodactyl produced this medial phalanx. 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...
