Spanky312 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Found this while hunting shark teeth today. It seems like a joint of some sort but the question is, of what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Think it's part of the bottom joint on a metacarpal or metatarsal bone. Hard to make out on the pictures and it's beat up, but might one half of a bovid one? Would start comparing with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 That's a partial humerus. Part of the elbow. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bone2stone Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Not bovid. Too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me that suggested Bovid, but i was thinking back then it was half of the bottom joint of the metacarpus. But as @LordTrilobite said: it's more likely a Humerus, where both the ridges (pic #3 you can see the damage) are sheared off.. For a Humerus it is indeed way too small for Bovid. Thinking it's about 2/3 cm wide? That would make it about sheep-sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm fairly certain this is a partial whitetail deer humerus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
