Dear Zooarchers
I have just placed a photo of a cattle metatarsal onto bone commons. It shows some deep linear markings along the medial surface. I think they may be pathological as the specimen already has other signs of disease. To be honest however, I'm not sure what these specific marks are or what has caused them. I have placed some more details with the photo on bone commons, so please have a look. Any help with a diagnosis would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Martyn Allen
