FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

This is probably not helpful but aren’t hollow bones found in carnivorous animals?
Can you fill out the dimensions?
Looks like a cannon bone of a deer. The toe bone. The chewed end is where the final toes and hoofs go. Basically a deer walks on its top toes or finger nails. The nails being the hooves.
@adrianna-zonnefeld @chevy-barnes @james-preston thank you all for the help. The bone is 9inches in length. 1 – 1.25 inches circumference. We did see deer, beaver and a coyote in the immediate area so a chewed deer bone makes perfect sense! Thank you all again.
