Parahippus leonensis?
Honestly, Martin, there are no horses or horse-relatives among the six mystery toe bones. Parahippus is an Early Miocene horse.Martingeetars said:Parahippus leonensis?
Dire wolf claw cores are much more similar to the cat's in the line-drawing above.Tuberale said:These intrique me, Harry. You've created an interesting thread, at least to me.
If A, B and C are more closely related to each other than to D, E and F, are A, B and C from broader footed animals, and D, E, and F from narrower footed animals? The very broad A and C suggest possibly a fin or swimming adaptation.
The nails or claws in D, E and F suggest to me something more land-based. Wolf? Dire wolf?
No, not manatee; but, A,B,&C are the mammals.Tuberale said:Could A, B and C be from manatee (aka "sea cow")?
Ya got me, Harry! I would never have guessed Giant Armadillo nor crocodile. I always thought crocodiles were Southern Hemisphere.Harry Pristis said:Okaaay . . . I had almost forgotten this thread. Here is the key to the identification of these claw cores. Thanks to all who participated!
