Creek - Don Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 These bones were found just above Cretaceous gravel layer at a local DFW creek today. One the leg bones measures almost 17 to 18 inches in length. Leg bone width on this one is around 3 to 4 inches. I also found vertebra bone of bison as well. They look juvenile. These are probably either adult steppe bison bones or juvenile bones. Earlier this month, at a another creek, I also found steppe bison dorsal vertebra with rib bones within similar layer.

Creek - Don Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 I identified that big old leg bone. It's a horse femur. Not sure whether recent or ice age. Horses were here during Pleistocene period, but became extinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
