Butcher Marks?

Recommended Posts

I have no experience with this but I read last night butcher marks have been identified on fossils from the area.

Are there any sources of information on this type of material and how to identify it?

Thanks,

Darrow

The general term to search for more information is "taphonomy."

One book is mentioned here: http://www.thefossilforum.com/uploads/1271606258/gallery_42_2_17339.jpg
