Excuse me for not knowing how big Elk vertabrae are since we don't have them here Well, were it big or small it would be shaped the same... bet the ones off a squirrel might look similar but tiny.... Not to mention what were you using for scale? zoom lens will fool some folks. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back.....

From which angle, and such.

I agree it's worth a good bit; do not volunteer to let "scientists" examine it, or you may very well never see it again. They may well also want to excavate the rest of the area where it was found. I'd charge them for that, too! "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

How old does that bone seem to be? I wouldn't think a vertebra would last long enough in Washington for it to be very old. Makes me wonder who the f**k is running around up there still shooting flint arrows? Tom Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...
