garyc Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hey mammal experts! I found this calcaneum today on the Brazos River, pleistocene gravel. I'm leaning toward carnivore on this one, possibly big cat or dog? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coled18 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Looks Smilodon to me, but I cannot really tell you this one for sure. Its a cool fossil, and I'd like to see what others have to say about it. CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyc Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thanks for the comparisons @Harry Pristis. To me dire wolf appears to be the best match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
