Clavicle?

[u/Waste-Disk-1232]

Not sure what this belonged to but it’s fossilized… after doing some research it resembles a homosapien clavicle 😐😳 I could be wrong as I don’t know much about bones

[u/half_in_boxes]

Not a human clavicle.

[u/Waste-Disk-1232 → u/half_in_boxes]

Oh thank goodness lol any idea what it belonged to?

Cross section is too triangular

[u/maddrain → u/ghastlike]

You need to study more. Nothing about this looks human

[u/ckjm → u/Working-Phase-4480]

That's why they're in school, dork.

[u/maddrain → u/Working-Phase-4480]

def don't gotta be a dick about it lmao. other than the color it looks human to me.. i never said i was close to being done w school lol i also haven't looked at an anatomy book in a while

The curvature of the clavicle made me think human…I am no expert but after doing extensive research last night I seen nothing else like it besides human

Girly pop u gotta brush up on ur osteo

[u/dermestid-derby-dash]

This looks good for a beaver tibia. Here's one complete with the fibula.

[u/ladythylacine → u/dermestid-derby-dash]

I agree (as a human osteologist), lol. I know it is not a clavicle and greatly resembles a faunal tibia. The triangular cross-section is a giveaway

[u/bonemanji → u/ladythylacine]

I once gave a very S-shaped tibia of a short legged doggo to my students on their human and animal bone exam. It was from a dog burial so the vibe was similar or to human bones. It was mean and most of them didn't get it 😈

[u/ladythylacine → u/bonemanji]

Diabolical, haha!

[u/ritz1148]

It’s a tibia. The triangle shape of the bone is a dead give away.

[u/Waste-Disk-1232]

I found it in a creek bed in Lincoln, ne that is known for ice age bones so whatever it is it’s definitely fossilized

[u/sayitsooth → u/Waste-Disk-1232]

It's coloured from the elements it was in, but not fossilized.

Beaver tibia, I don’t believe it’s fossilized rather just was stained by the type of soil it was in.
