Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the confusion. This is my first time posting on the Zooarchaeology Listserv. Here is the link to the fish bone images:
http://alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1990
These
fish are from Fort Laramie, Wyoming between AD 1860-1890. I’ve attached the
three different mystery bones below.
If anyone can help me identify species, I would be incredibly thankful!
The remains are from the US Army’s bachelor officers’ meat cellar. Most of the
other species in the archaeological collection have been from deep water,
including sauger (Sander canadense),
channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus),
and shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus
platorynchus). White suckers (Catostomus
commersoni) are also found in the collection.
Here
is a list of the other native game-fish species to Wyoming that I cannot find a
comparative:
Cutthroat
Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii)
Black
Bullhead (Ameiurus melas)
Artctic
Grayling (Thymallus arcticus)
Mountain
Whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni)
Stonecat
(Noturus flavus)
Any
suggestions or identifications would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for
your help!
Thank
you,
