Napoleon North Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yes, but what did the bone marrow come out of in one of the bones? Modern near 100 years old and 1000 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 25 minutes ago, Napoleon North said: what did the bone marrow come out of in one of the bones? I think You are confused with language here. The marrow is the "spongy" looking part of a bone, found in the center and only exposed when the bone is broken. Once a bone is opened any number of small things will eat the blood rich softer tissue We call marrow. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The long bones are all hollow inside, it is called the lumen. What is left when the marrow is gone is the spongy structure near and in the apophysis. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

caldigger Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The last picture looks like it has a hole drilled near the open end. It may have been used by man for some utilitarian reason, thusly they may have hollowed out the marrow. Many native peoples eat it as a treat.

abyssunder Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 You're asking to date that bone. It would be hard to make this, but considering the darker coloration of it, the specimen might be older than the other ones. In any case, I think it wouldn't be older than Pleistocene in geological time. It might be of interest for archaeologists and Quaternary geologists.

Miocene_Mason Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It is probably not possible to date these with available methods.
