jordanosaurus Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Hi, one of my Friend found this leg bone in a river bed in Matapedia, Quebec, Canada. After few research, its looks like a metatarsal or a metacarpal from a deer or something like that. The bizarre thing in that case, a Walrus skull was found near the bone.. but its cleary not in the walrus anatomy. Can you help me to indentify this one please, or just, if its a fossil or a modern bone. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyc Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Looks camelid to me. A juvenile, missing the epiphysis. Nice find! Edited September 14, 2023 by garyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanosaurus Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 A camelid in the Canada? Maybe cervid ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It looks very similar to camel/llama metacarpal and metatarsal bones that I have from Texas. I guess in your area elk and moose are candidates. Hard to tell without the epiphysis on that distal end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanosaurus Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Some found camelid in Canada arctic.. like 1500 km of where she found this bone ! It is possibly a camelid ? Deer and moose metatarsal or Metacarpal not look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
