Megajax Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I found what I have always assumed to be a fossilized broken leg bone among the landscaping stones in the parking lot of a barbecue restaurant in Nashville Tennessee in about 1985. Thus I have zero idea of its origins. The stone is very dense and hard, not at all like the more porous ones I’m accustomed to finding here in Florida. I had a local fossil enthusiast here in FL once tell me it was mammoth, but given the size that doesn’t quite fit to me. Can anyone tell me anything about the species, anatomy or whether it’s even really a fossil as I have been assuming all of these years? Thanks for any guidance and feedback!

Ludwigia Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Sorry, I'm not seeing anything suggesting bone here, but maybe I'm wrong. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Am I the only one that it strikes funny to be finding bones at a BBQ joint? I'm not seeing anything that screams bone here either. Is there dirt on it that can be cleaned off for a better look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Looks to be some kind of concretion? Not sure really but it does not look like any kind of bone? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megajax Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Wow, that’s pretty close to a consensus. So much for my amazing powers of paleontological deduction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
