Bone For I D Please

[old bones]

This bone was found in Sacha's Merritt Island, Florida Pleistocene matrix. I don't know much about bones and would like to know where in the skeleton it would be located. I am hoping that the one complete end is enough for an ID. Thanks for looking.

Pretty small limb bone. Rodent possibly? Waiting on experts from the area for a better Id.

Looks like a great Indian war club, if larger.

Wow, how cool is that?

Nice find Julianna, and not a cotton rat! The bones from this matrix look polished and your photos really do them justice.

Thanks for looking, runner64. I am pleased that it turns out to be other than rodent at this point.

Ha! Ziggie. That is just what I called it when I showed it to my husband and Ancient Bones. It really does look like one.

Thank you Rich I am so enjoying finding amphibian bones! And now I know what a humorous humerus bone looks like.

Wow, how cool is that?

I know...what fun.

Thanks John. They do look polished. It is amazing how these tiny, thin bones have managed to survive in this nice condition.

From the research that I have done, and most especially, from this website, am I correct in thinking that my Anuran humerus is from a female?

Nice find. Frog bones can be common in some sites, but in my experience they're fairly uncommon as a whole in Florida fossil record.

Old Bones: you may well be right, but we'd have to id the species first, and then compare it with known gender individuals. I don't have the comparative collections anymore to do that.

Good enough. Thanks for the guidance Rich.
