Dereynes Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Was out last evening with my boys for an hour hunt before the sun went down. I have found many different fossils in the same area, mammoth, bison, deer, and paleo points. Today was a first for me, horse femur! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creek - Don Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 That does look more like an ancient horse. Here is a modern horse femur I found this summer. Noticed the circle in red? Your has deeper grooves than my modern horse femur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that you don't have a cow bone there. 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...

Harry Pristis Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hmmm. Can't say from these images. The diagnostic feature I was seeking is the intact distal end of the bone. 1 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...
