johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Here's another small bone that I found. I'm not sure if it's a metacarpal/metatarsal?? Some images online use the same image but both words. But it is a small one and I'm not sure if deer would be the owner. Could be... I'm just not aware that it could be that small. Size is 3/4 inches wide and 1.5 inches in length. It does have some mineralization to it. Found where I find Pleistocene material. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Looks like deer to me. Texas deer generally are small compared to northern white tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilus Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 These are just larger than yours, 1 and just over 1 inches wide, both white tail deer from SE Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
