Troodon Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The tooth might be Croc would need sharper images, closer and one of the base. Your bone does not look like its from Hell Creek deposits much younger in age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like two naturally fused limb bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm believe that what we're looking at is a bison metacarpal. The only bison bones I ever found were also from the Hell Creek formation. I later learned that the area I was looking in used to be a Native American buffalo jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members DLueth Posted July 2, 2019 Author New Members Share Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks guys! It is a bit disappointing about the bison bones. I was really excited thinking they were fossils, oh well. Thanks for the identification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
