matgerke Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This is from China. Any thoughts on the species? It looks like bison to me, but I'm no expert. Could be equine. Heck, could be a wooly rhino for all I know. Any thoughts from those who know more than I? thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It's not rhino. I agree with coled18 that it does look like a bovid lumbar vertebra. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matgerke Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Can you tell what genus of bovid? Bison? Any way to determine species? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Pretty much only skull material on is very diagnostic. There is no good way to identify Bison from Auroch. So I think only if it's know that a particular genus is more common or if another isn't present at all in the area. The vertebrae between these animals are kinda almost identical. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
