johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I found this also today, Sunday, which is a a bone fragment to a large mammal, I think. Probably won't know what it came from... I was curious if anyone might know the bone? It is a fragment but it is divided down the middle on the inside of the bone. The outside is pretty worn. I don't think it's a leg bone....Don't think skull. But I'm not sure at all about it and could be wrong about those. Thanks for your thoughts. Found on a river gravel bank. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mahnmut Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Hi, I do not know what this is, but I think the symmetry points toward midline of the body. quite big for a vertebra, so maybe it is a skull element after all? I could imagine those grooves, if that is the right word holding tusks, but that may be wishful thinking by proxy Curious to hear more. Best Regards, J Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Here is a mammoth scapula from Sketchfab. Both ends. Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I think a scapula to something big is right. I'd think if it were skull it would have large foramen like the other post I recently had. Link to post Share on other sites
Mahnmut Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Now that you say it, I join camp scapula. the division down the middle is an artefact of erosion that had me fooled. Best Regards, J 1 Link to post Share on other sites
