Animal Femur Savannah River

Recommended Posts

Hello! Can anyone help me identify this bone I collected on a beach at the Savannah River in the area known for dredging? It appears to be an animal femur. I’m new to fossils - can’t tell if this could be a really cool find or just the bone of a large processed animal as another suggested. I appreciated the help.

Welcome to the Forum.  :) 

 

To me, it looks like a large modern bone of processed animal. Saw marks on the broken edge point to this.

Tannins in the rivers can color bones fairly quickly.
