jikohr Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hi Everyone! So, yeah. I'm completely stumped. It's from North Florida and I'm fairly certain it's mammalian but beyond that I got nothin. measurements are about 2 x 1.625 x .75 inches (about 5 x 4 x 2 cm) Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!

minnbuckeye Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) The last picture to me resembles the distal (lower) end of a femur. The groove for the patella (knee cap) and 2 condyles are visible Here is an example from Radiopeadia. We will let others assess the animal that might belong to this!!!

Yeah i was also thinking end of femur, the sockets and shape seem to match perfectly. 1 2 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be the distal end (separated, water-worn epiphysis?) of a bovid (cow?) femur.

For comparison: Thanks man! This piece is really small compared to the piece in the figure though, so probably a juvenile. Is it even possible to say if it's bison or bos?
