bone2stone Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 What made you think, human? I'm thinking camel. Harry may be able to give it a more distinct ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I am 100% sure that this did not come from a human, from a canid possibly? A little robots for that though, could be hoofed animal. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognized is as humerus, but seemed a bit gracile and flat on the end for a quadruped. A side view would probably convey that better. I'll post one this evening.

Osteobyte Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This is human. The flattened posterior shaft, texture, cortical bone thickness, and distal morphology are all a match for human.
