Best Way to Tell Difference Between Modern Bone and a Fossil

[FossilsandScience]

Hey everyone,

 

What are the best ways to tell the difference between modern bone and a fossilized bone. For example, if a modern bone is painted to look like a fossil, how do you tell to see if it is modern or prehistoric?

 

Thanks in advance!
