Cause of death?

Hello again note the large abscess on the side of the jaw!

I believe this killed the animal one way or the other.

Prehistoric mineralized mammal bone. Either becouse of the inabillaty to eat or blood poisoning?

Humerus bones.

All these are humerus bones.

Note the differencein sizes.

These two are Equus

As you can see therse quite a bit broken off the top, i think they belong to aurochs young and mature.
   
                                                            Sorry have just noticed this post !

The statement above was made by myself in the very early days of my work, when i new very little about mammal bones, if the post has missled anyone i appologise !  The two Humerus bones are in fact Equus not bovine.

Bovine (Astrogalas)

Hello all this ankle bone measures 90 mm by 65mm ( 3.5 inch by 2.5 inch ) compared to others ive seen it belonged to a very large animal. It  weighs 250 grams (8 oz )

Horn end

Not enough to atempt an identifacation! but its heavy and has a high natural shine
as ive said before i only ever wash and then buff my bone with a dry cloth.

I found these lower leg bones in another local beck not far from Stainton Village,i believe the first
belonged to a large wild horse. It weighs 1 lb and measures 28 mm long, and 60 mm at its widest point.
