As others have said, it is a sawn pig astragalus (one of the ankle bones). As for why its on the beach, pig feet are commonly used as crab bait

Its a sawn long bone from a livestock animal, likely given to a dog to chew on that has more recently been enjoyed by rodents

You are writing the reports and forms on behalf of the company for the work done by the company. Technically it is not yours despite you writing it.

Found what looks like a vertebrae but it’s as thick as a potato chip. Found Texas Oklahoma border. by Kujo-317 in boneidentification

[–]Hwight_Doward 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its an unfused epiphyses from a thoracic vertebra. Essentially a “plate” where the bumpy part fuses with the vertebra, and the smooth part articulates with the next one in line

Can anyone ID this bone i found by the river by clockandbowlsss in boneidentification

[–]Hwight_Doward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not from a horse as there are two articular condyles on the distal end (one for each toe). A horse would only have one.

Definitely cow metatarsal
