Spotting

Description:

Spotted on the roadside some three miles from the summit of Larch Mountain near the Columbia Gorge in Oregon

Habitat:

Douglas fir 50+ year regrowth forest

Notes:

I'm guessing it's probably deer, but I'm really not up on my non-human osteology :)

I totally should have put something in there for scale. At a guess, the one on the right was about nine inches in length. Thanks for the link!

At first glance they look like elk bones. (a vertebrae and a rib bone) Do you have any measurements?

Please consider adding this to the Identifying Animals Through Osteology Mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8475...
