Hi all,
I love this site, lots of really learned people sharing thier knowledge.
Ok food for thought, I love aquiring old collections of labelled fossils. For me they have a third life. What I am describing by this is their life as an living creature, their life as a fossil, mineral/rock and their life as part of an old collection. I suppose you can call it the romanticism of collecting.
So the question how can you tell this bone is from a Masterdon? I can see only a part of a river worn fossilised bone with piddocks boring holes but can't say what animal or part of that animal it is.
Any thought on the identification or old collections? I will try and and add more photos but I think I need to resize them. Need to work that out.
thanks for your time Bobby
