I was out walking a creek today and found this old bone partially submerged in a gravel bed.
Not sure of the age, but it definitely looks old. I can see that it's been chewed on, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about it.
It's got the right shape and look for a bone tool so good eye on spotting it! But as Tdog mentioned those marks are from rodents/critters gnawing on bone/antler, lots of nutrients in there.
Thanks! I kinda figured it was just chewed on.
Question: Is the dark color because it's really old? Doesn't look like creek stain.
I've found lots of stuff in a particular field, but haven't had any luck in the 4 creeks that I've walked out here in the country. Eyes peeled..
