Hi. I need some help to identify a carpal bone. The label says it is a carpal bone, though I don't really know. It belongs to an otariid, maybe Thalassoleon mexicanus, from the Almejas Formation of Cedros Island, Baja California. I need to know if it's a triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate or hamate bone. I'm so confused I hope the pictures help, but if you need better ones let me know. Thank you.

HI everyone. I'm new on this site and I hope to learn a lot in here. I'm currently working on the description of some Otariids specimens from the Almeja Formation of Cedros Island, Baja California, Mexico. Sometimes I have a lot of questions regarding anatomy. I find hard to know what some terms are referring to or even to identify some bones. That's the main reason I joined this forum. I'm such an amateur in this field but If I can help anybody I will pleasantly do. Thanks.
