Scapula?


obsessed1

Recommended Posts

This was found as float along the Calvert Cliffs in Maryland. Miocene in age. I believe it is a scapula from a small mammal, but I am not very familiar with mammal bones. It is 2.5" in length x 1.5" in height and 1/4" - 3/8" thick.

It does look like a scapula, but I can't tell you anything beyond that. Owing more to different experience than different interest levels, I am not quite as good with mammal identification as I am with calymenid trilobites.
