TRKansas Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Found this bone on the Kansas River on a sand/mud bar near Manhattan, KS. Not sure what it is. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Looks like a rib fragment. Small fragments in general, and ribs in particular are rarely diagnostic of anything further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I agree, it is flat, so a good candidate for rib fragment. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

TRKansas Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks. Thats what I figured. I was just having a hard time finding a rib bone that really looked like this and Ive eaten many slabs of ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
