makoken Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Still no i.d. on that one yet? If you found it with that tusk? Maybe it is an elephant vert ?? Maybe a Tapir thoracic vert. Looks like a bison tooth with those points. Nice finds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Could be a nice sloth tooth with those nice points. Could you show the occlusal (grinding) view of the tooth? Looks like a tusk tip too. How big is it? Excellent Pleistocene finds. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

How big is it? Excellent Pleistocene finds. I was thinking the same thing. Steve, could you show a pic of the other side of the vertebra? Nice flint!

worthy 55 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That is some very cool stuff. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 What is that vert thing? It's driving me crazy!!! I can't think of a bone anywhere on anything that would look like that!!! For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 yeah, i want to know what that bone is too. wonder what the other side looks like? my first thought was that maybe it could be a vert from something where it attaches to a pelvic or pectoral girdle, but of course there's no neural canal or anything on the visible side of it. if it isn't something like that, my guess would be that it's a solaragus (as opposed to astralagus) from a terrestrial cetacean, probably padheseatus triungus obscurus.
