In reading "Nyati", it mentions and shows a picture of a buffalo's "heart bone". I'd never heard of them and thought it interesting I'd never read anything about them here either. I assume it is not something anyone would think of as a "trophy" item?

I have the heart bone from my last buff. It makes an interesting conversation piece, but I can't seem to remember where the hell I left it last.

What in the world is a heart bone?

I am now thinking you guys are trying to pull my leg bone.

It's reffered to as Os cardis in Latin. This occurs in all bovine species of mature age. Bacically, calcium deposits in the cardiac muscle ossify with age and form a "bone".

I have one from a red stag I shot in Poland.

I have a picture somewhere, which I will post when I have a bit more time. Server's acting up and kids need picking up, etc.
