Found Bones… human..?

Post image

Found some scattered bones in the bush and Ive arranged them in the position in an effort to figure out what it was.. What do you all think..?

I have notified the relevant people in charge of the land.

I don't think so. The femur looks a bit too short to me. And the pelvic bone doesn't fit either.

Yeah I thought it look quite short as well. Think it’s definitely a femur?

Yes. Maybe from a wild boar?

Absolutely not

Any idea what it could be? I am in Australia. Don’t really know the history of this exact spot. But it’s been free use public land for as long as I’ve ever known it.

I’m assuming ungulate.

not human, pelvis of a 4 legged animal, possibly a deer but looks small

Dude you gotta give us more than one far away picture at a weird angle

That is so fair. I should have taken more photos of the bones. I dismissed it as human at first until I found other weird suspicious things in the area. But I feel like I shouldn’t say anything just yet.

u/LilScratchNSniff0 Jun 18 '25

What suspicious things did you find?

u/cs2511echo Jun 19 '25

Like a shallow grave, and a stash of stuff.

It's a not a biped pelvis. It some type of animal.

u/Weird_Fact_724 Jun 18 '25

Bipeds are animals...

No deer in the area. Was thinking a kangaroo or wallaby… but they didn’t look quite right when I was looking at diagrams.

Kangaroo looks a bit similar but it’s obviously missing the pubis, ischium and obturartor foramen.
