garyc Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This may be a long shot but I have faith in the mammal experts here. This bone is about 17 inches long and 5 inches wide at it's longest and widest measurements. I found it on the Brazos River in SE Texas. Unfortunately both ends are broken off leaving little diagnostic material, but I'm hoping based on size and morphology of what's left someone can offer an id. It's heavily mineralized. Thanks!

abyssunder Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Large bone with nice trabecular structure at the end. Nice find!
