Finnja Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hiya! Wentout today to look out for fossils for the first time. Stumbled upon what seems to look like some type of vertebra on a river bank? Not entirely sure if it's a fossil at all, since there were lots of deer bone fragments in the vicinity too. Looks to be a little older though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Harvey Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hard to tell but doesn't look fossilized to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishkeeper Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'd say it's a muddy modern bone. Next time, pick it up. If it feels heavier than bone, it might be fossilized. If it's just a bone, it won't hurt you, bones hold onto about as many germs as rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
