Taxonomic identity of the phalanges shown edit

On the labels it clearly says: “Sp. Bos primigenius, Phalanx of hindfoot”. Of course this does not mean that the identification as ‘Bos primigenius’ is correct but at least the identification as a bovid (possibly Bison sp.; cf. Boylan, 1981) probably is. Since there is always the possibility that photographs taken in the museum have been confused (and distinguishing phalanges is quite challenging) I have added a ‘fact disputed’ template to the file page and removed it from the carnivore and hyaena categories. --Gretarsson (talk) 17:04, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
