Brand new to the site but I've been fossil hunting around Texas for years.  I've mainly found shark teeth and shells but never a bone.  I Found this in a creekbed in Bandera TX sticking out from the bank.  Its not very heavy for the size but the exposed end is fairly brittle.  Any thoughts or knowledge shared is greatly appreciated!  I have more pics but could not upload them.

Probably some kind of Bovine Femur. Cow or Bison
I know Bandera has some Ranches for Cattle and Long Horns.
