Alison.K.Monahan Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Another set of unknown fossils from my science museum! These are definitely from the same type of animal, likely found in South Carolina or North Carolina (I found them in storage so I can't be sure). They are obviously different sizes and from different formations, but their structure is nearly identical, they are mirrors of each other. The symmetry suggests something in the hands or feet if the animal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They are ankle bones. It would help if You take pictures of each item separately and from all 4 sides and both ends (straight on, not at an oblique angle). This applies to all fossil ID requests. Maybe @Harry Pristis can help with an id on these. 4 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Harry Pristis Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 These are artiodactyl astragali (sing. astragalus). Could be deer and bovid, you can make the comparison. 10 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
