Found in Manatee County, Florida. Thank you! Welcome to TFF! As for your femur, there's no point in trying to distinguish such an incomplete specimen to a certain species or genus, sometimes even a whole bone is not enough to show what animal it belonged to, if I were you I wouldn't try doing any more research towards this bone as there is almost no way you could really ID it any further than 'femur'. 2 hours ago, SailingAlongToo said: Looks like the head of a femur from some mammal. I agree with the femur head, but how did you reach the conclusion that this was from a mammal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
