Chippewa Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I have found quite a few of these over the years, but have never ID'd them. Very distinctive features and always the exact same size it seems. Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calhounensis Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It’s a deer calcaneum with the proximal end missing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 2 hours ago, calhounensis said: with the proximal end missing. Just a little bit, where it hugs the top of the astragalus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I agree with calhounensis . . . deer calcaneum. 1 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...
Chippewa Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Okay very interesting. Much different looking than a horse calcaneum. I was way off because I was thinking that the distal end, with its shape/contours, mated up to another bone. but instead, it is terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
