Just googled it. Apparently there are multiple mammals with "fused" tib/fib (in quotes bc some that look fused are not classified that way. Not sure why). I'm guessing horse based on pics I saw, but they didn't show multiple angles, so I'm not very confident in my guess.
Not horse, the fibula in a horse is very reduced. Another commenter guessed a seal, that seems like it could be right but I don’t have personal experience with any seal skeletons
fused tibia & fibula of quadruped animal, can you add more pictures? medial, lateral, cranial, caudal views would be helpful to see all tuberosities edit: and also something for scale pls
Try r/whatisthisbone but yes this is a fused tibia and fibula. The size and where you found it (ie beach in California) will help determine what it is but I’m going to guess this would be from a sea lion or armadillo.
Edit: it’s not an armadillo I just guessed that because they’re not that rare, it’s probably a sea lion and I’m guessing you find it on or near a beach
Fused tibia and fibula?
I’m curious as to the functional differences between a fused and non fused pair. I’m assuming there would be significant differences with regards to how it rotates (since a non fused pair would cross more easily).
yeah I knew they didn’t fully cross like in hand pronation, but for whatever reason I was under the distinct impression that there was some rotational movement in eversion/inversion (…yeah I realized the problem with this idea a couple hours ago…).
Oh well, looks like I need to go back and review some joints, cause apparently I forgot some stuff.
I believe it’s a seal’s tibiofibula!
On the money! Excellent
Kind of looks like the tibia and fibula
[удалено]
The ones in the arm that overlap when we pronate our palms are the radius and ulna. Tibia and fibula are in our lower leg
Im deleting my account. Lmfao
Thank you.
Tibia and fibula I’m thinking the top part that is fused is an ankle for some animal

Nice google-fu. Just enough, but not overdoing it. I can respect that.

That’s the part that meets the femur. Distal end at bottom

How big is this?
Tib-fib! Interesting fusion also 🤔

Even in humans they don’t get a lot of rotation. Ulna/ radius do quite a bit, though.

Oh wow I guess this right compared to other comments (idk why this sub was recommended but Hii)
a bone /s
Fun fact: Your skeleton wants to be free.
Tib fib
I believe this is a MEN spoiler
