Thank you Ynot, are cow bones worth anything? their are particles in the leg bones that rattle around when shakin, does that tell the age any? i have a skull i found in the crook of a old oak tree about 6ft off the ground , can you tell me what it is from , lots of white tail deer in the area , wilbur oregon also two more skulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 For id purposes it is best to show the item from all 6 sides with straight on views (not oblique angles). A close up of the chewing surface of any teeth also helps in ids. As per forum rules We can not do appraisals. Too many variables to be determined from pictures.
