The cannon bone's connected to the .....

The cannon bone's connected to the......., well, it should be the carpal bones, though in this case it appears to be the stream bed. I'm assuming that's a pony's cannon bone, it's been some years since I took bone analysis, and then it was only an archaeological module. What I mainly remember from the module was an occasion when one of the younger students, Joe, a nice lad, was caught by the lecturer making boner jokes, he had his back to the door as the lecturer walked in...classic, oh how we mocked him. I shouldn't imagine this bone was purposely deposited in some strange forest ritual, rather it probably washed into the stream from a the skeleton of a fallen pony after it's been scavenged and disarticulated by other forest dwellers. Rarely do things go to waste in nature.
