rachowski Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hey everyone, this is is my first post, and I am not a fossil expert by any means. Yesterday I found this bone on the beach, and I'd like to find out what it is. I am on the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yup, that's a byproduct of the local meat-processing plant or butcher shop. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
