id please
Many thanks to those of you who
have sent suggestions as to what my mystery bone might be, it is proving to be
somewhat of a conundrum!
A couple of people have suggested
that this might be human metapodial or phalange. This was my first thought but
having had a look through the reference material available to me and several
photos on the internet I could not find a match. Is there anyone out there who
is more familiar with human bones who could perhaps confirm or refute this
possibility?
Another possible suggestion is
that it may be the phalange of a large bird, again if anyone has any further
comments on this I would be interested to know.
Hyoid has also been suggested but
I think given that it appears to have articular ends this is
unlikely.
Having had a look through some
very poorly reproduced drawings of wolf foot bones I had thought that 1st
metatarsal may have been a possibility, possibly of a large dog or wolf -
again if anyone has anyone has reference material they can compare my
photos with and offer an opinion I would be most
grateful.
The link to the photos is still
present in the email below.

[ZOOARCH] Help with bone id please
Can anyone help me identify this
bone? I think it should be some sort of metapodial, but that is as far as I
have got. I have uploaded some photos onto zoobook. All suggestions
welcome.
