cthomp50 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Found this in the waters of a local North Texas stream. I'm assuming it is a old cow bone. But if you see something different, let me know! I'll go search for the rest of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 That indeed looks like a bovid scapula to me! If you could take a picture straight onto the joint (left side on your first picture), that would make it even more clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laditz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yes, that's Bovid. Probably "just" cow. Could also be Bison, but maybe looks wider/flattened than this one. Someone else might have one in their collection to compare Still a nice find though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
