Jackier Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hello! I have found this bone along the road near a creek after a flood in Lancaster County, PA. I think it is a pelvis bone, but not sure from who. It is 15 inches across. Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. I think it is possibly deer, and more than likely modern, not fossil. Compare with these. Having a picture with a measuring tape or yardstick would be helpful.

abyssunder Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Put the bone in the right angle, then compare to the ones from below. Maybe these drawings are helpful. excerpt from E.
