German term

Sandknochen

German to English Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) Anatomy (of cows)
Kugelgelenk des Rinderbeines: Zersägt man die Kugelgelenke des Rinderbeines in mehrere Teile, erhält man Sandknochen.

This is a text on feeding raw bones to dogs. I can't find anything! (Only explanations, not the term itself in English... and sadly my knowledge of anatomy isn't enough for me to Google appropriate key words!)

Thanks for any help.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 knuckle bone
4 bones that feel sandy in cross-section
5 -2 Marrowbone
2 -2 marrow

knuckle bone

"knuckle bones" are cut from the joints (any joint, not just fingers...). People feed raw knuckle bones to dogs for dental hygiene.

agree Marga Shaw : This makes sense to me.

Thank you, Marga.
agree casper (X) : Aha, da geht mir ein Licht auf! Btw, any idea what a 'first joint' is? I quote from the 2nd reference: "Made from the end bone in a cows leg at the first joint"
7 hrs
Thank you, Jennifer. I guess depending on which leg we're talking about, it's either the knee or the elbow.
agree liz askew : Correct terminology, rather than a description.

Thank you, Liz.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you! It seems to be the simplest term, is used for raw dog food and looks similar to the pic Jennifer found. Thanks!"

Marrowbone

"Marrowbone" suits much to your case
Peer comment(s):
disagree Cetacea : By definition, "Sandknochen" do not contain marrow. See Jennifer's research.

above a typo for "cow"!!!

raw cow bones (which do contain marrow)

Peer comment(s):
disagree Cetacea : By definition, "Sandknochen" do not contain marrow./Liz, the caption of that picture at fleischshop.de reads: "*Mark*- und Sandknochen", and it does indeed show both a marrow bone and a marrowless bone. (no "knuckle bones" for human consumption...)
3 hrs
interesting, because the German reference looks like the bone contains marrow!!
disagree Cilian O'Tuama : agree with C - no marrow

bones that feel sandy in cross-section

...because they do not contain any marrow.


I don't think there's a single term in English to express this.

Btw, I've posted a reference separately.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Cetacea : That's a good description, and that's why they're so chewy, but there is a specific term in English...
1 hr
Hmm...yes, but I didn't know until I read your answer :-)
disagree liz askew : never come across this in English.
14 hrs
Well, you just did -- when you read my answer. Cheers, liz :-)
agree Lancashireman : Merely to cancel out the all-advised disagree from LA.

Sandknochen

In der Küche als eigene Zutat von Bedeutung sind vor allem Knochen vom Rind und Kalb. In den Handel gelangen üblicherweise nur:

* Markknochen aus den Schenkeln, die in ihrem Inneren Knochenmark enthalten und
* Sandknochen aus den Kugelgelenken, die kein Mark enthalten und sich an den Schnittflächen „sandig“ anfühlen.

Thanks very much for clarifying!

Right, liz, and that's why I've posted this as a reference, not an answer. Post Reference button: "Use this option to provide information that is not in itself an answer, but which may be helpful to either the asker or other answerers."
