TBryshun Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Found all of these in that same small area of a river. The depth was about 3" of water and they were on the surface of the river bed with vegetation growing on most of them. One (by the 20" mark on the tape) I am sure is a toe bone. Any help would be appretiated. This is in the mid-Alberta area. Edited August 11, 2018 by TBryshun area added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Welcome to TFF! They look like modern cow bones. Wait for others to reply. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

TBryshun Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 That was what I thought, but I did the red hot needle test and they don't burn. Is it possible to have cow bones that don't burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
