Amazing thanks so much, appreciate your help I guessed it was pretty recent as the colour was so light as well. Felt more bone than rock if you know what I mean!

Thanks again

Sorry one more question @sjaak if you don't mind. Is there any obvious way to indicate the age of the mammal bone (aside from Radio Carbon dating?!) by looking at the structure of the bone? I took this macro photo of the bone to study the structure but it didn't tell me much other than its not ...

That is so great thanks, Niels. I wondered why they were so brown, the iron makes a lot of sense. I have never found fossilised wood before. I will probably go back soon, the mammoth stuff is the holy grail at the moment! I will take the GF + child back soon!

Have great day

Thats amazing thanks so much for your help!! Much appreciated.
