Matt P. Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 My son and I found this in Big Brook, NJ. That area has fossils from the Cretaceous and Pleistocene periods. Need help identifying what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 4 hours ago, Matt P. said: Any idea on the age of it? Somewhere approaching senility, say 14 to 18 years. Older, if it's a domesticated horse. If you're asking if it's from a Pleistocene horse or an historic period horse, I cannot say. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks about 15 to 30 years at the time of death... http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G2842#17 When that occurred, recent or Pleistocene is a more difficult question. Darrow What Harry said...
