werepanther Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Bought this fossil bone from an old man, not sure what it is, guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Unfortunately, the blur obfuscates any details. I think this is a rock, however, and not a bone.

werepanther Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's definitely bone and an end piece of one. Thanks for viewing and offering input though. I'm over excited to share things but still getting set up to offer better images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werepanther Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Might be mesohippus as it came with a jaw fragment from that species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It appears to be a proximal humerus.

caldigger Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Is that snow piled up on your window?!! Burrr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamL Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Try to take some more focused pictures of the fossils. If we could see some the actual structure it could help also. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It's probably too close to the camera to allow it to focus. Try taking them outdoors in sunlight and holding it slightly further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werepanther Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not snow, insulating material to protect against the snow. Thanks for the comparative bone images, I like looking at comparative anatomy. Still having a hunt for my digital camera. This site is great and seems to have a lot of experts. I look forward to future posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
