The listing, fossile for offer free shipping read description has ended.
You are bidding on a large fossil rib bone from SW Florida. This bone was recovered by my boyfriend while snorkeling for fossils and ancient shark teeth. He says that this rib bone is from a large mammal from the Pleistocene or Miocene era, many millions of years ago, during the reign of the mammals...
It is unidentifiable as to species of animal, but the size would fit something large, such as a Mastodon, Mammoth, Giant Ground Sloth, Short-nosed Cave Bear, Bison, Camel, Horse, Giant Armadillo, Glyptodon, Ancient Whale, Manatee or Dugong.
Many fossil hunters and fossil clubs simply label these “Dugong Ribs”, when they are found in the water; however the vastness of the fauna of the ancient North American Continent suggests that these are more than just one species of animal.
Here’s the deal, FREE Priority Mail shipping, the auction starts at 499 points, when bidding reaches 750 points, I will add a second fossil rib bone. At 5.000 points I add another 3 rib bones, and at over 10.000points my boyfriend will let me send the lucky winner an assortment of fossilized shark teeth also.
He finds shark teeth from the following species: Megalodon, Mako, Tiger, Sand, Bull, Dusty, Mackerel, Hemipreistus (Snaggletooth) and Great White; so an assortment of different teeth will be included at 10.000points. Happy bidding!
