garyc Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I’m fairly certain this is a piece off a large bone from a mammoth or mastodon. Can anyone recognize what bone it’s from? Pelvis?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Gary, the orientation is a little confusing. Do you have other images? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 To me, it has a sloth 'jiz'.

Harry Pristis Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 My guess is an elephantoid proximal scapula. 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...

garyc Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I am resurrecting this thread. I was just looking at this bone and for whatever reason tortoise popped into my head.
