megaholic Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Recent Peace River find. Does not appear broken. Does not match Bos/Bison drawings that I have as ref. Roughly 2.5 X 1 inch. Looks to be from a good sized animal. "A man who asks is a fool for five minutes. A man who never asks is a fool for life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both long edges and most of the ends. I would look at pelvis bone for an id, but that is just an uneducated guess. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

megaholic Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Quite OK Tony! Agreement of not knowing what it is doesn't help! Looking for what others see... And you are helping. I am looking at it again with different eyes. That said, I still don't see the "clear" fracture features. Let's see what others think as well.. "A man who asks is a fool for five minutes.

Rockwood Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I agree that these are eroded surfaces at the very least. River tumbling could make a very broken surface look this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to help You understand what You have. And - no I am not good at identifying scrap bone to a specific animal. You asked if it was a toe or finger bone. No it is not. It is a large flat bone. There are only a few large flat bones in a skeleton - pelvis, skull, sternum and clavicle and on larger animals the process of the vertebrae or ribs. I see none of the characteristics of sternum, skull, rib or vert. It does have an articulation on one end (where two bones moved against each other). So it could also be a clavicle, where I said pelvis before. It is still a broken piece which makes an id from pictures that much harder. Hope this clarifies what I said before.
