New Members chrisjr88fan Posted August 22 New Members Share Posted August 22 Hi, recently my late uncle left me his fossil collection and I have been going through it. I found an interesting fossil leg bone that he found in 1962 on the Columbia River in Oregon, at first I did not notice it but it appears that there is carvings on the Fossil bone. Can anybody give me any information on this, or have you seen anything like this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Looks like the bone was buried, and etched by modern roots. 1 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The bottom photo does look like root etching. The straighter and dashed lines look more like tooth marks to me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
