Can you take a couple more pics? Flip it over, and give us something for a size reference?

First thing I thought was "bear paw", but I have no real clue.

I would say 4 or 5 inches...... I took them from the dog without touching them and wanted to ask here before I called the sherrif and made a fool of myself

I was sure hoping someone would say its a possums ribcage or something....

Well at first glance I though ribs, but seeing that there are "knuckles" on the ends of those bones, they meet into some sort of joint. I'm no boner, but it definitely looks like a hand or foot to something.

will get a other side pic posted in a few minutes. I hope this is a bear didnt think of that but you dont see too many bears in this part of the state.......

Still have no idea what the bones are, but if you're between Ft. Gibson and Tahelqauah in a rural area, you have a few bears.

Definitely doesn't look like a rib cage. Where are our vets and doctors and whatnot?

Dang, I was about to walk out but now I'm going to sit here waiting for pics. Ha.
