[Broken knee]

I looked at pigs, cows, dogs, bears and came up with nothing? I was thinking foot or wrist bone, but to what? HH

Looks like a talus. "ankle" bone. Definitely a bone that articulates with a larger bone. You can tell by the condyles.

Could it be a cuboid bone? This image is the closest I could find. I really hope not cause if it is it's probably from Indian remains? This area has had bones unearthed form the farmers sub soiling plows before. and a collage removed 2 sets of remains that were falling out of the riverbank about 15 years ago. I want someone to say it's defenatly anmial not human? HH

I got the answer today,
Hello,
The bone appears to be the patella (knee cap) from a bovine...likely a cow. I hope this helps.
