Dear list,

 

I have a large bone that I have been asked to identify. It was excavated from a historical site near Melbourne, Australia. I think that it might be camel but don’t have the necessary comparison material. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the link to the photos in Dropbox. It has been photographed next to human tibia for comparison. Any help would be greatly appreciated:
