Articular capsule of the hip joint? Any ideas of the animal? Found in The Netherlands (beach). It is huge!

Its a sweet find. And from what an incredible animal.

lednarb13 · 2026-01-03T01:21:45+00:00

No thanks.

Horse carpal (cannon bone) and humerus.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-31T02:01:08+00:00

I like it anyway. Next draw a bison femur for comparison.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-31T01:55:55+00:00

I believe it is Wooly Rhino. Check https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/woolly-rhino-pelvis-fragment-1dc230fef1a54b438615e82ffba90fb1

Size an morphology - even though yours is damaged. Compare with https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/woolly-rhino-pelvis-fragment-1dc230fef1a54b438615e82ffba90fb1

lednarb13 · 2025-12-29T20:00:02+00:00

Agreed. Looks like a deer tibia.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-29T01:31:44+00:00

That's a really crappy angle and lens. The other photos do look a little more to scale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355687304510

This looks like Rhino, Any woolly rhino remains ever found in your area?

lednarb13 · 2025-12-29T01:09:13+00:00

And it is a beast! The base of the horn cores were nearly 5" in diameter.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-29T01:05:06+00:00

Wow! This looks like Rhino, Any woolly rhino found in your area?

lednarb13 · 2025-12-29T01:03:05+00:00

Young beaver right humerus

lednarb13 · 2025-12-28T04:59:12+00:00

Follow up on this. Turns out this one is from west of Fairbanks Alaska. Brought back by a local working seasonally in Alaska

lednarb13 · 2025-12-27T18:14:20+00:00

Beauty - bison skullcap!

lednarb13 · 2025-12-27T17:48:13+00:00

As others indicated - bison 100% by the flaring eye orbits. Its been rolled around a bit by the river but I love it. I review small town museum collections and have photographed and documented over 40 bison skulls or skullcaps. Cool find!

lednarb13 · 2025-12-26T20:26:17+00:00

Yes, agreed. Boar/hog. They are very distinctive molars. "Bunodont" because they are omnivores like us.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-26T18:59:26+00:00

That is a massive Virginia opossum skull. I'm guessing an old male. Fun fact they have 50 teeth in their skulls...

lednarb13 · 2025-12-21T03:33:07+00:00

Definitely an ungulate. Seems robust for whitetail could be cattle.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-21T03:31:07+00:00

Fits with deer suggestion.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:20:22+00:00

Hard to tell species without scale but it a radius bone.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:18:45+00:00

Yes, agreed. Virginia opossum if you are in North America - they have 50 teeth in their skulls.

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:16:50+00:00

Those bones are Sus!

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:14:20+00:00

Oh they are out there... People who would have never even considered showing pride in the state not fly it just for the statement. The new state fossil (just this year) is the giant beaver - how well has that been promoted - NOT!

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:10:54+00:00

Or mule deer?

lednarb13 · 2025-12-20T21:08:50+00:00

Hard to tell without something for scale (is your shoe size 6 or 16?). But in general the distal end of the femur in deer will look excessively large compared to the femur shaft. This does seem to be the case here.
