| Hello all,
I was wondering if someone here could tell me if this is a deer vertebrae or not? I found it in my back yard, by a tree stump. I believe it's a vertebrae and the only wild animal around us that would be big enough is a white-tail deer. I think it's too big for a coyote. What do y'all think? I'm very curious to know what it is. Thanks for any help!

| Probably too big for a deer. Looks more like a cow, horse or some larger critter. Maybe a dinosaur? ☺

| LOL! That's what my dad said, that it was from a dinosaur. I really doubt it's from a cow or horse. Maybe Sasquatch?

| Hmmmmm... well, I doubt it's a from a horse, but I guess it could be from a cow. Illinois is mostly farmland, after all. Must've been from a long time ago, if it's from a cow. Hmmm. Thanks for the advice!

| Yup--too big for a deer. I would go with cow too. My dogs drag all kinds of bone pieces into my yard, including cow. And they will bring very old pieces of bone home too--you know how dogs are. If they can tote it, they will bring it home to chew on. |

| Lol, well, okay then, I guess it's a cow vertabrae. Somehow that doesn't seem as cool, though, lol! ;P Thanks for your help, guys!

| LOL!!! Well thank you Whitewidower, hehe. Actually, my hands probably look better than the rest of my body, though. I have nice hands, comparitively, lol. Therefore, I won't ruin the mystery with a picture. Y'all will just have to imagine what I look like, especially since the member photos have been down for awhile. Dunno if Dave is even aware of that. Thanks for the compliment, hehe.
