artofextinction Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This bone is pleistocene i think. It was collected near Gober TX on the NSR. Any ideas as to what it belonged to? Thanks, Andre ArtofExtinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Man Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi. Here's a post I did a while ago on a calcaneum I found in north port FL. Calcaneum I'm pretty sure its a young cow. Dan Edit: Link's not working.. I'll post the pics in a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Andre Hello, Andre . . . It appears that you have an artiodactyl calcaneum (as Dan suggests) -- perhaps a camel or a cervid. There is a wider variety of artiodactyls from Texas than from Florida, I think. You can see some Florida examples here: CLICK HERE FOR CALCANEA There are several views available in the album, so browse a little. -----Harry Pristis 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...
