My Dog just brought home a bone from the woods and it looks human?

Question

It looks like a femar bone. I am going to assume it is a Deer bone , but how can you tell?

Answer 1

call a neighbor that is a hunter or call the police

Answer 2

Call the police and have them come and take it to a forensic examiner / coroner.

Deer bones are thinner than human bones, but unless you are very familiar with both it will be hard to make a determination. The examiner/coroner will have enough experience with both to be able to tell after looking at it for a second or two.

Answer 3

If it's a deer bone you would find evidence of gnawing, marks in bone.

If human, the bone will resemble closely one of your own, in this case, your thigh.

I would take it to the coroners office if I were you. You might have Jimmy Hoffa right there in your back forty.

Answer 4

I would talk to a buddy that is a hunter. Most of them know bones of animals well

Answer 5

I would contact a friend, neighbor, or family member who is in the medical field. Surely someone who has had medical training would be able to tell. If it is human, contact the police immediately.

Answer 6

What looks human... your dog or the bone?

Answer 7

It's probably Amelia Earhart, or possibly Jimmy Hoffa.

Answer 8

Call the police or make a stew

Answer 9

take it to the anthropology dept. of your local university - or to your local bone specialist MD. they will know almost immediately.

Answer 10

You should call the non-emergency telephone number for the police, and ask them what you should do.
