Medieval bone?

[Daniel1990]

Hi

What animal is this a bone?
Could it be medieval?
Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

Looks, to me, like a bovine or cervid proximal phalanx.  Maybe cow, bison or large deer?

It appears to me to be a bovid proximal phalanx.  It seems too small for cow, so you might consider a smaller bovid like a sheep or goat.

If you want to tell if it is fossilized hold it to a flame if it smells like nothing it's a fossil if it smells like burnt hair it's modern.

But then there is the problem that many fossils aren't 100% mineralized.  After some experience you will get a 'feel' for what is fossil, and what is plain old rottin' bone

Can it be medieval?

It could be anything from any time these animals were alive.  Where did you find it , what else was around it  medieval  makes it an archeological problem  so it becomes one of context.
