JustinFL Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I was looking at this piece and noticed these marks... could they be bit marks from a predator? This bone was found on Venice Beach FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 No, definitely herbivore bites i have no idea, but it's a nice fossil! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Can you please point out more precisely what you are talking about? I can't for the life of me see anything resembling bite marks on these pieces. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Rockwood Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The grooves in the top photo do bottom out in dense bone. I agree that they seem a little too natural to be evidence of predation though. If they crossed a greater variety of structure it would seem a better indication.
