trive Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 One night recently I was hiking with one of those high powered spot light apparatus on my head and while looking down I noticed this specimen. Not sure if its a fossil or from what type of creature it came from but it definitely struck me as quite interesting and out of place. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

ScottBlooded Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks modern/non fossil, but I’m not really a bone person. I’m gonna guess that the other serious people on here will want to know where you found it and what size it is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks like the end of a long bone - sawed off by someone. Definitely modern, and not a fossil. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

snolly50 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Deer hunters, field dressing with a saw???? If that is a possibility, in daylight you might see other signs of such activity. Near where I live is a dirt road that provides access and dead ends on an undeveloped property. Deer hunters found this to be a convenient place to dress their kill and left behind the unwanted parts. The land owner finally got sick of it and blocked the road with an earth berm. Lots of bone was left behind, but I never noticed any "sawed." 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 That's a clean cut for a hunter to make. I'm thinking ham slices were on the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
