Cut Mark

[Bow Only]

Ya'll know I could post a pic a day forever don't you? Here is a water find and it is cut mark on a mammoth leg bone. As wide as it is, it would almost have to come from an axe or hatchet. I am assuming cut the middle and peel the muscle all the way back and get the tendon. Waste nothing.....

Most interesting. Is that a Georgia or Florida find, Matt?

Florida, 95% of my stuff is from NW Florida.

Remarkable find. Does the authenticity of this other find remain unquestioned?
