This is a distal left humerus that belonged to Paranthropus boisei. It was found in area 123 on the east side of Lake Turkana. It is not in very good condition as it was found lying on the surface amongst sand stone rocks on a steep slope and must have been exposed and on the surface for sometime. There is damage to the upper surface of the distal end.
