diginupbones Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Really not sure on this one. Sort of looks like a vert or end of a bone. Hopefully there is enough there for an ID. Found in North Central Nebraska. Thanks! bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diginupbones Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I think you may have nailed it. Found this distal end of humerus from bison on the web. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek - Don Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a bone like that in my collection. Astragalus ankle bone. Looks like a bovine or bison ankle bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bovine or bison ankle bone. I had considered it, but the remaining surfaces don't look quite right, especially when the angle of the broken surfaces is taken into account.

Creek - Don Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It sure resembles ankle bone, but has more smooth angles than mine. Not a bovine or bison for sure. My bison bone looks similar, but has more edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Humerus certainly. For comparison: 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...
Rockwood Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks @Harry Pristis . My ego needed a confirm. They've been going the other way lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
