It just occured to me that VZAP (virtual zooarchaeology of the arctic) may have Gulo gulo in its virtual library - have you checked?

Dear Ana,
I see someone has suggested Gulo gulo. I have one in the lab I believe and if you send me the link again I will ask one of my students to haul it out and compare!
Cheers

Dear Simon,
Yes, I´m intriguing too. I have plenty of cave bear in the cave apart from other carnivores such as hyena, wolf, fox, panther, so I checked all of them but without luck. It looks to be a lynx size or similar but I´m not sure which animal. In perspective, the shape is very trinagular which doesn´t fit with anything I have around here..
if it´s not a mammal, what do you think it could be?
best wishes,
Ana

Hola Ana,
I am intrigued by your phalanx! Sadly I cannot help much. It does seem to be from an animal that probably did not need to grasp things - look at the distal articulation for example. So I tried Phoca, but it is not that. I think you can rule out Ursus, Felids (lion and leopard) and hyaena.
Do you think it is mammal?
Let me know how you get on,
Abrazos
Simon

Assunto: [ZOOARCH] Phalanx ID
Dear all,
I´m trying to ID this bone. It is a phalanx that I found in a Middle Palaeolithic level in Serbia.
here is a link to the image: http://zooarchaeology.ning.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=1itbmuh590nq0 <http://zooarchaeology.ning.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=1itbmuh590nq0>
Any idea would be very welcome!
Best wishes,
Ana
