Help identify Vertebrae

[khyberpass]

Hello.
I was walking near my neighbour's place where his basement was being dug and I found a couple of vertebrae from about 8-9 feet underground. In Peshawar, Pakistan.

Could somebody tell me what animal is this. It seems to have 3 canals on one end and its really long, about 2.5 - 3 inches. I have never come across anything like this before. Is it some common animal bone or rare/ extinct? If somebody count point me in the right direction I will be very grateful indeed. Thanks. <[email protected]>

I suspect it's a molar of some sort. The top picture looks like chewing surface and the other is root. Maybe.

Darby, I think you are right! I had never thought of that. It certainly appears to be an animal molar. Could somebody help me identify the specie please? Thanks![/b]

It may be a molar, but at first glance (especially the last picture) it looks to me like cervical verterbrae

It's molar. First pic shows grids, which is typical herbivorous' molar. Second pic is clueless. Third pic shows molar's root

It looks like a molar too. It may be from a herbivore. I've seen sloths and elephants with similar molars. But I'm not a zoologist.

Yeah thanks. The Carnegie Museum has now also confirmed it's a molar from a herbivorous animal. But they are not sure about the species because of the unusually long length.

Horse/Elephant/Giraffe!?!?!

You should do a comparative observation
