Found these bone fragments at Stutton Ness in the U.K. a few of days ago. They were right at the base of the Pleistocene ‘cliff’ deposits and have orange staining like the matrix in the cliffs. I’ve read that these deposits are 210,000 year old interglacial. Apparently lion, straight-tusked elephant, horse, giant deer and bison have been found here in the past.
I have no experience of these type of finds and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what species they may be or is that impossible with these small fragments?
Also, should I try to conserve them, paraloid maybe?
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.s. I know the two white bones on the left are modern
