KimTexan Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Looks like a pretty cool find. I have no educated idea, but if I were to guess I’d say it looks like it belongs to the equine group of mammals. Something along the lines of a horse’s foot bone, phalange or something along that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I think it could be an astragalus bone, which is part of the ankle bone. You can try looking in the horse and tapir bone gallery on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloven hoofed animal like a Bison, deer, goat, antelope etc... Darrow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
