RGM 178.516 is an incomplete ruminant metacarpal. It lacks the lower distal part and the proximal articulation above the point where the internal and external tubercle on the mid-palmar groove meet. The distal end includes the complete distal nutritional foramen within the palmar groove. The palmar groove for the M. interosseus palmaris is only present proximally. The sideward and backward bending of the specimen is a post-mortem defect.
