Partial 'Megaloceros giganteus' Jaw: I'd Love to Learn More about It...
JamieC7696 posted a topic in Fossil ID
This is a partial 'Megaloceros giganteus' jaw I recently bought, which I'd love to learn more about - but especially the following: 1. Is it actually from Megaloceros, or - indeed - another mammal? 2. Can we tell how mature the animal was when it died? 3. Is the jaw a composite at all? 4. How are such fossils prepared for sale after being found: i.e., I'm especially curious to learn about whether paint and/or glue are applied - and, if so, what would it have looked like before such preparation, upon its discovery?- 2 replies

Beautiful Megaloceros giganteus skull at my local museum. Hung in the dark above the exit sign. I'm volunteering and will put a stop to that.-

I recently acquired this Irish Elk metacarpus from the North Sea. Upon closer inspection I noticed a series of scratch or cut marks on one end of bone. Anyone have any ideas? Marks from dredge? Butchery marks?
