New Members Heather Herring Posted January 22 New Members Share Posted January 22 Hi, I found this fossil at Topsail Island over the weekend. Is this possibly a sloth bone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Moved to FOSSIL ID. This looks like a ball joint to a mammal femur. Not sure you can say anything further about it. Not diagnostic enough to tell what it is from, I think. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Brandy Cole Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This also appears to be an epiphysis from a young animal where the growth plate has not fully fused. But I agree it lacks enough detail for me to make a confident suggestion for an ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
