Does anyone know what this is?
« on: February 11, 2009, 02:59:00 PM »
I got to take a walk in the woods today to look for shed antlers with buks2hunt (Bill)! Bill's home for a bit on leave from serving in Afganistan and I was greatfull he took some time to spend with me in the woods and I want to apoligize to his family for "hogging" him today! Thanks for the walk Bill.

Anyway we didn't find any sheds today but did come accross a strange bone. I think it's a piece of a skull but I'm not sure what type of critter.

 

If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it as it's a weird one for me. It has what looks like some kind of long tooth on one side.

 

The tooth kind of looks like maybe a pigs tusk but the whole piece is not that big.


 

Any ideas?

We also found the worlds ugliest osage tree! Can you imagine the bow from this one?

 

It was like this for 8 foot or so and than just the normal osage tree look. Those are some serious knots and twist right there!

The tooth almost looks like a broken bone. Could it be a bone tumor or some sort of abnormal bone growth?
  If you cut that osage, I'd like to try a piece!!!

Adeeden,
         I don't thing that is a skull. There is no nasal vent, spinal cord entry, eye sockets, and I didn't really notice any muscle attachment points, for where the lower jaw muscles wrap up around behind the eyes. I think it must have been a horribly broken bone and the resulting calcium deposit. It is cool though, wish I would have found it. just my opinion.

Hillbilly, I don't disagree with you at all! But with that being said what other piece of bone is this size (besides a skull) from anything around here? All we got is Deer , coyotes, an occasional bobcat, racoons, and such. So if it isn't a piece of a skull what part of a critter could it be?

Possibly a broken leg bone that became infected? That tooth looks like some sort of long bone to me, and the pourous constitution of the other stiff makes me think so sort of infected bone growth.
Strange fine whatever it is.

Seriously, calcium deposit or bone irreglarity make sense. But you might want to get it checked, just in case.
