NevadaHunter Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi all, I have some interesting bones that I found today. The one appears to be a phalanx but it doesn’t appear like any of the horse or camel material I’ve been able to find online. I also believe that the tooth fragment belongs to order Carnivora, although I’m not sure what. The researchers found a maxilla to Osteoborus diabloensis at this site but again, I have no clue in the matter. Also note, the phalanx has a lichen growing on it, which tells to the degree of time it’s been resting on the hard desert surface. Thank you to anyone that can provide any ideas/resources/IDs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognize the last item, but I don't think it's cat. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has several articulating facets and a groove for a ball and socket joint on the other side. I'll add some later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
