Can you help me identify please? I can not tell: You require a much clearer photo and please state the length of the bone .. Why should I have to calculate the number of 80 mm rulers that makes up the length when you can measure the bone... Here is a possibility... Femur but I would not be surprised if it turns out to be something else...The femur is on the left... 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDiggs Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 My mind immediately goes to some of the first proboscid ribs, but yeah more angles would help. http://umorf.ummp.lsa.umich.edu/wp/wp-content/3d/viewer.html?name=B_L_R1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I may have a large rib articulation that could be used as comparison. I'll have to look. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a proboscidean rib, but I agree that pictures, especially views head-on looking at the ends of both sides of the bone, would be most helpful.
