Found these sticking out on the edge of a pond about a foot below the top of the ground. It appears to be the upper limbs, front and back, of a mammal. There are very robust. :o

Kinda looks like a ham bone? :icon_scratch: Short legged and stout.

sounds right....this area is now a suburban park but was either pasture/farmland or just open space as late as the 40's. So maybe a hog slaughter? There were a vertebra and one rib bone there also.
