Rockwood Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 This looks like the proximal end of a tibia. I think that would need to be a small shoe or a large human to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Looks like cut marks to me on one end, so I'm leaning toward modern, not fossil. Also appears to have an unfused epiphysis, so I would think juvenile. Possibly a butchered calf? A close-up end-on view of each end, along with measurements of the length of the full bone for scale, would help. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 56 minutes ago, Brandy Cole said: Also appears to have an unfused epiphysis, The end of at least some of these bones is a little more spongey/fragile than most long bones. The surface on this seems relatively intact though, so I tend to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
