Auspex Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Could it be an un-fused articulation surface from a limb bone?

Harry Pristis Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 After looking around ,horse petella is what it looks like. I think you're probably correct -- an Equus sp. horse patella, and a large one. I haven't looked thoroughly for a match, but I immediately seized on a rhino (Teleoceras) patella based on your images. In comparing my patella to your images, they have similarities but they are not the same. 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...
