Find a bone? Well, our crack team of experts, and really anyone who wants to, can try and identify it for you.

Our Rules:

  1. You must submit one or more images of a bone. Fur and bone, or similar, is also OK.

  2. For the love of all that is holy tell us where you found it, under what circumstances (buried, on the beach, etc.) and at least an approximate size.

  3. Top level comments which are joke answers will be removed and may receive a ban.

  4. Joke and off-topic posts will get you banned.

That's pretty much it.

My dog tried to bring this inside. I assume it's a turkey leg bone since we're so close to the holidays, but I want to make sure.

My dog was spending a little too long outside, so when I went out to get him, he tried to bring this inside with him. I'm just assuming it's a turkey leg bone since Thanksgiving just ended. I'm in central North Carolina.

Found this on a beach in Oahu. Looks like a piece of vertebrae. Anyone know what from or why the odd color? Google reverse image search came up empty.
