Found this while walking along North Beach in Seattle Washington at low tide, and it looks similar to dugong rib bones that I found in Florida before, but I'm not sure with this one.

Finding Florida posted a topic in Fossil ID
Found at a land site in Sarasota we have to go back tomorrow to excavate the rest there is so much more bone in the ground!! Could somebody please tell me what this is I'm leaning towards mammoth or Mastodon maybe a juvenile -
Hi All, I am new to this forum. I am over my head in what is, in my novice opinion, a preponderance of quartz stone tools that go back to the Pleistocene. Among the unverified relics, I have found a variety of bones which appear to have been altered for use as tools. Additionally, they have what appear to be teeth marks at the edges, as if a person was holding them in hand and biting. I wanted to post a pic of a rib that I think belongs to a Camelid. I have spent a lot of time looking over pictures of all sorts of mammal ribs, and Camelids come the closest. Additionally, I viewed a post on this site where a person posted the exact same bone, and said a expert told him it was probably a Camelops. Notably, this bone has had the vertebrae side sawed off. It fits in hand perfectly to accommodate waist level thrashing. If these are teeth marks, it seems possible it was done intentionally to give the rib more of an abrasive blade for thrashing. Speculation aside, positively identifying this bone will at least give me some confidence that I am (or am not) in the right period of human history. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I purchased a gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary. Both me and my wife grew up loving Jurassic Park and being fascinated by dinosaurs and I have recently started to get into fossil collecting! We are going to Weymouth in the UK next year as well so hopefully will spend some time on The Jurassic Coast fossil hunting! The picture is a Fragment of a Juvenile Rib Bone. I purchased it offline from a seller who has good reviews etc apparently the specimen is from Mongolia. I have looked into T-rex fossils and the price of a genuine tooth which is crazy money so I decided to purchase this bone fragment. I noticed there's a resin substance on the Fossil like a varnish and it feels very light but just wondering if that is just to protect it. thanks a lot W
