It could also be some kind of leg bone
Could be a caudal bone, tail, of deer sized animal. Still a vertebrae.
Could also be the second phalanx ,toe, bone as well.
That’s I will research all these ideas
Thanks
Is it big enough to be a mammoth toe bone? That a bic lighter for scale?
No way to small for mammoth. I would say more deer size on the lower bend and more cow on the higher.
Ok I don’t think it’s a tail bone now looks more like a toe.
Was this found in water and is it heavy. If so it could be a prehistoric horse toe.
It was found in mined material. I have recently found Mammoth tooth fragments in the same material in the same location. Lots of other bones as well. All fossilized.
It’s not heavy but it is mineralized. Sponge can be seen.
Then I would say it’s a prehistoric horse toe then. If you are finding ice age mammals in the deposit it could be a small ancient horse. Wish we had deposits like that here. Well we do have ice age gravel deposits by the Wisconsin River but no real places to dig. Also I lived just a few miles from where the Boaz Mastodon was found.
Very cool. Thanks for the input.
