EroHed Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Hi, I found this bone in a bayou where I have found parts of mastodons. It had deposits of oxidized blue-clay which I have since cleaned. The bones I have identified are the teeth, tusk, and other dead giveaways of mastodons. I am an avid relic hunter here in SW, MS. The bone came from Adams County, MS. Identification would be quite welcomed.

fossilus Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 This would be a bovine metatarsal, probably cow as the distal end doesn't expand as much as in bison. To me, yours matches cow better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
