New Members AshCaz Posted July 9 New Members Share Posted July 9 I found this interesting bone and I'm just wondering if it's a fossil of some sort. I don't know a lot about bones so it way be a deer bone for all I know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Try doing a burn test. Hold a flame to the bone. If it burns, or stinks, it still has collagen, and is modern, not a fossil. Also, location found, (state/county) and some indication of size would be helpful as well.

shark57 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 It looks modern. If it's a fossil, it is incredibly well preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Could just be really old. Less than 10,000 years.
