ChonktheHippo Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 We were in Milsap, Texas floating the Brazos river (off of Hwy 20 and 281) My husband thought he stepped on a large rock, but it was this! I can't figure out what it comes from. I looked at most livestock vertebrae and it didn't seem to match up. Very curious what we found! Please help! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks like a bison vertebra, which would be consistent with the pleistocene fossils often found on that river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
