Heel Bone, Bear

The Heel Bone of a Bear paw, (Calcaneal Tuberosity) is located near the Bear's ankle and gives attachment to the calcaneofibular ligament. It is a strong bone that can be carved and shaped. The calcaneus is a roughly rectangular prism-shaped bone located inferior to the talus and posterior to the midfoot. These blanched bones come from a Canadian bear's leg and are perfect for craft projects, such as jewelry or medieval costume accessories.
