What kind of bone could this be?

Good Morning,

I'd like to find out what kind of bone this picture shows. It's about 35 cm long, plus or minus, and I found it at the edge of the forest. There were no other bones or clues about what the bones belong to. It was probably dragged there by an animal.

So far, I think wild boar, deer, stag, and hare can be ruled out, since the bones don't resemble those in the dictionary. But I'm no expert.

I would like to thank everyone in the anteroom.

Best regards. 🙂

The shape excludes birds, because this is clearly a front leg – where birds are known to have wings…

The forebone of a toe tip encoder (like all ruminants).

The size fits on a roe!

What we see from top left

  • upper arm with ball joint where the shoulder blade would put on
  • Elle and Speiche
  • Covered by skin residues: hand root bones
  • Middle hand bones (tube-shaped grown together)
  • there are no toes and hooves…

You can’t explain better. Also, I come to the same conclusion, it is very likely the front run of a roe that is no longer fully preserved.

I’d tap a bird. Tube bones are hollow inside and you can break them relatively easily.

Who says something by hand? xD

Well, with the steam ramme, everything burns, so no distinguishing feature…

By the way: mammalian bones are also hollow, which alone is not enough – bird bones are also thin-walled (it comes to saving material and thus weight) and stabilized by net struts…

very, very difficult to answer. This bone should be examined by a specialist to learn more.

For this, you don’t need a great specialist with a little lead;o)

Birds, predators, etc. can be excluded – such tubularly grown middle hand bones (on the right bottom in the picture) are only available in toe tip veins (re-feds, etc.)

The curvature at the top of the left is the joint where the shoulder blade is seated – if it were a hind leg, you would see the ball of the hip joint…

This can’t be a bird – he wouldn’t have such long and tubular midhand bones…

Have you never eaten a chicken or at least seen?
