austinswamp Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Good morning, I walked by this while servicing my truck at a dealership. I thought it didn’t look modern, but could be wrong. If it is an ice age fossil I was planning to purchase this to prevent anymore sun damage. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggycardon Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Looks like modern bone to me. Should you buy it, make sure all the CITES papers are in order, buying modern elephant material without the proper paperwork could result in a lot of trouble. 6 Interested in all things paleontology, geology, zoology, evolution, natural history and science!
