It looks like a skinned bear’s paw. I think that the distal phalages having been removed is a dead giveaway: somebody cut off the claws.

It is very interesting. I can say that it is a hand of some primate. But the bones of the fingers are too long for them. It seems that this creature used hands in hunt, or work as a human. Only I can say that we dont know the world completely.
P.S: Sorry for my English.

I will keep an open mind. I do have to wonder why the DNA was only tested for human DNA.

I suggest it be re-submitted to a lab that handles animal DNA not human. I believe there is an accredited lab for animal DNA in Ca.

Perhaps that would once and for all put to rest this issue.

As for the xray and photos. The xray I have no conclusion. I will submit that many dead creatures will lose their hide before the total deteriation of the flesh. This includes humans.

It does not appear to be a bear paw. Perhaps some sort of primate.

Looking online at bear claw skeletons, this hand of unknown origin is so obviously the hand of a bear with the claws removed.

We have learned one valuable lesson… A bear’s paw is remarkably similar to our own in some ways.

When i made a possum study skin in school years ago, the only thing i saved was the skin and claws of the paws. The rest got tossed to perhaps baffle some poor soul.

Someone should check the trash of a taxidermist after he does a bear mount. That should settle it…

Mr. Biscardi,

To quote the esteemed and infinitely wise Bugs Bunny, all I can say is, “What a maroon!”

Maybe this is from so unknown physco that has been doing this for years.

Ooops, that DNA report doesn’t even come close to backing up Biscardi’s claims. He’s been proven to be a bold-faced liar now.

Mr. B. Please go away now you are only hurting the field of crypto. I would say most Reporters and News outlets are laughing at you which is bad for the serious ones out their.

Interesting, the folks commenting about taxidermy. I don’t know much about mounting bears, but I’ve seen people mount deer, and when you are mounting deer, you save the skin and a skull cap with the antlers, but the rest is garbage because you end up stretching the skin over a fiberglass form. I would assume someone mouting a bear would want to preserve the skin, and the claws, but the rest of the bear paw would be “garbage”. (that is, garbage unless a con man wanted to pass it off as a “hand of unknown origin”)
