James Savage Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hello everyone Below are pics of two pretty well preserved toe bones found on dredge spoil islands near Savannah, GA. These islands dredge up modern to Miocene era fossils. My guess is these are from two different medium sized Ice age land mammals. For the sake of description, the one on the left can be called the larger brown toe bone and the one on the right the smaller black toe bone. Thanks for looking. Hopefully there is something diagnostic in appearances to help with ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The larger bone is an artiodactyl (bovid/camelid) astragalus, an ankle bone. the smaller, black bone is a horse medial phalanx. 1 2 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...
