THIS WAS FOUND NEAR A LAKE IN ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE A BONE FOSSIL OF SOME SORT. I CAN'T FIND AN EXPERT WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT IN PERSON BECAUSE "FOSSILS DON'T EXIST IN NEW HAMPSHIRE". EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND IN MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS & VERMONT. HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME IDENTIFY WHAT IT IS. SORRY FOR THE AMATEUR VIDEOGRAPHY

  • I haven't heard back from you about that? Did you find out what it actually is yet?

  • Hi Mike, I sent it to Carl like you suggested & he couldn't make a positive id. He said he had photographed it & was going to post the pics on Paleolist. I subscribed to Paleolist but couldn't find the pics on there so i am still trying to get it identified.

  • it's most likely a mammal bone from the Pleistocene but then again, I'm not the paleontologist. Hope it get's IDed.

  • Yeah, i visited the Museo Municipal Carmen Funes in Plaza Huincul Argentina a few years ago ( it's near where Argentinosaurus huinculensis was discovered). I happened to stumble upon some photos from the museum the other day & it really resembles a bone(same shape not size) that is part of a foot in a display in one of the photos

see all

  • If you ever find something like this, don't move it - it must be examined in situ. Photograph it, secure it's location and call an archaeologist. They need to look at the ground that it is buried in, what may be near it and the landscape. If it turns out to be something special, you've ruined the find by not being able to compare it's surroundings and verify where it was found.

  • Im no pro by any means, but have spent time butchering & collecting bones.

    Looms a bit like the top of a thigh bone or similar- male part of the socket.

  • Its a Whale bone, saw one before. Its a vertebrae bone.

  • im no rocket scientists but ima guess thats not a dinosaur bone. i would guess human if it was bone.

  • it looks like a samall part of the spine but im not sure

  • There is one way you can tell for yourself but it may seem gross but it does work.

    Put the tip of your tongue on it and pull it away . If it sticks like velcro than it is bone, if not than it is rock.
