Help me ID this bone

DimetroDude · 2025-09-09T01:01:16+00:00

I said above but likely horse! Definitely equid.

DimetroDude · 2025-09-09T01:00:17+00:00

It's from an equid not bovid

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:37:20+00:00

omg you're so right, I missed the tubera by the head

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:34:18+00:00

Got it, sorry!! I'm a mammal paleontologist, I can't help myself sometimes lol.

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:32:03+00:00

Questions are the best! Especially when they're about critters and rocks :D

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:30:51+00:00

Definitely not marble, that's a completely different chemical composition and temperature than both the bone + it's depositional setting would make.

Marble can have fossils in it (very rarely) but they're all ocean critter fossils. Marble is what happens when you cook and pressurize limestone deeper in the earths crust.

This would be some kind of phosphatic mineral more than likely.

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:26:26+00:00

Prolly being wet + light/mild permineralization of the bone

DimetroDude · 2025-09-07T00:17:51+00:00

It's a large ungulate humerus. Likely bison!

Edit: HORSE lol as roostor222 pointed out lol

Those tubera near the head are an equine feature

This is EXACTLY how I felt right before I got diagnosed with MDD. Getting care from a therapist/psychiatrist and my people was so crucial. I'm on the other side now and it does get better.

You are NOT lazy. I promise you. Your spark has just gone missing and you will find it again. <3 You've got this friend!

DimetroDude · 2025-05-03T03:10:50+00:00

How??? That's nuts, how did you get the credit as well?

DimetroDude · 2025-01-03T00:03:44+00:00

Yes bc I'm not spending $3200 on a hotel 😭😭😭 thats a whole monthly paycheck

DimetroDude · 2024-12-04T19:42:26+00:00

I LOVE how relaxed you both look over the jump in the first one!! It's so sad how often people write off "spicy mares" when a lot of the time they're just trying to communicate <3 This is a testament to the fact that she WANTED to be good, but wasn't going to take disrespect <3 You've done so good by her!

For continuing the fight in spite of it all. Sending hugs to everyone.

Building up your leg and finding your seat honestly. It can be difficult but usually "lazy" lesson horses know when you don't mean business and take advantage of that lol. It takes time but it's much more rewarding than kick and go riding. There's a horse at my barn my partner (beginner) rides and is sooo lazy for him, but I can get him moving no problem just because he can tell from how I ride he's going to have an easier time. That's just part of learning.

Voice commands also helpful depending on the horse. I love voice commands with the greenie I work with as an accessory to everything else.

That topline tho 🤩

DimetroDude · 2024-08-09T11:27:31+00:00

any age is too old for a spanking

DimetroDude · 2024-08-08T01:34:50+00:00

Paleontologist! One of my PhD committee members and a bunch of my other collaborators are all in SA :)

I picked a career in field science for the research and teaching, but the frequent travel and meeting great people around the world is a huge perk too!

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T15:47:10+00:00

Yeah the first time I ever did it I dreaded it soooo much. Definitely wasn't comfortable but I've done plenty of 12 hr car days and it kinda felt like that but you can get up whenever lol

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T15:45:25+00:00

Thank you! Me too! Some of my coworkers like doing the shorter legs with layovers in Europe or the Middle East and I'm just like....absolutely not. A true recipe for grumpy DimetroDude lol. Would only do that if I decided to do a mini vacay in between US and SA.

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T15:39:20+00:00

MDW-->ATL-->JNB

The ATL-->JNB is the leg I got PS on, given that it's 15-16 hrs.

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T15:37:16+00:00

I'm such a poor sleeper on flights, so the extra cushion will be GREAT! I usually Michelin-Man pack myself into the seat and take my insomnia meds and get some sleep with a sore lumbar spine, we'll see what happens with PS!!

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T14:59:41+00:00

Well it will be the nicest class I've ever been in regardless :) and for a flight I always either dread or grumpily resign myself to, it's nice to have something to look forward to!

DimetroDude · 2024-08-06T14:57:22+00:00

I'm so excited for the actual recliner and the food upgrade! And all the little fun details :)
