New Members Not_Gandalf Posted September 18 New Members Share Posted September 18 Hello people, I would like to identify this bone, it is found in Slavonija, Croatia. You can see the environment it was found in. Let me know what you think! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Harvey Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 It looks similar to a large mammal astragalus maybe a horse? Sorry, Not my field of expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaldir Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 This is a piece of distal femur. Could you provide some measurements please? That would make an ID easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make an ID easier. Here is metric measurements. Could you possibly give me some advice on how to even tell if it's just older bone or fossil?

Fin Lover Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Hold a flame to it for at least several seconds. If it scorches or smells (usually like burnt hair), then it's more recent. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaldir Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I feel a lot for a distal femur of a red deer, but am far from confident to claim this is it. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
