 1 The two different horse mandibles were found a metre apart with other mineralised bone.
 2 This Femur was found at the exact location as the large male Human femur

 4
 6 Horse mandible 1 note the incisor still attached.
 7 Horse mandible 1
 8 Horse mandible 2
 9 Horse mandible 2
 
 10 Horse mandible 2  This piece has small indentations i believe must have been caused before mineralisation.
 11 Femur probably Bos but ime not sure.

Very large Scapula

 1- 10  The 10 images show a very large scapula .
 2 I believe it is a Bos Premigenius  scapula ( Auroch ).
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
 10- The state of mineralisation and weight point to this sub fossil being of a considerable age.

There are no signs of attention from Humans, predators , scavengers, or water ware.



11- 14  This scapula looks to be Bos but ime not totally sure, it could be from a large Cervid.

  12

  13

  14
 
 
 
 
  15 - 18  This very large scapula has the top ridge missing, it was found in the same area as the scapula shown in images 1 - 10 yet is from a slightly smaller Bos but again I believe it to be from Bos Premigenius ( Auroch ) .

 18 Again i must stress there is no evidence of attention from man predators or scavengers on any of these sub fossils.
