The Bone Caves are a series of natural caves set into a high limestone cliff called Creag nan Uamh (Crag of the Caves). The caves are named for the large numbers of animal bones found during excavations.
There are four main cave openings in the cliffs, formed before the last ice age by water dissolving limestone in cracks in the surrounding rock. Subsequent glacial action and erosion of the glen by water left the caves hundreds of feet above the valley floor.
There is no indication that the caves were ever used as human habitat, but two separate human burials have been discovered within the caves.
In total, over 1000 pieces of reindeer antler have been found in the Bone Caves, with dates ranging from 47,000 to 8,300 years ago.
One rare find was the skull of a Northern lynx, dated to 1,770 years ago. This is the only Northern lynx ever found in Scotland. Other intriguing remains include a possible polar bear, arctic fox, wolf, and brown bear.
Finds from the caves are kept at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. (Above Information Off Google)

Next to a pub in wapping there is a set of stairs leading down to the river. I took this picture of a bucket of bones on the top step. I assume I hadn't stumbled upon a crime scene. Perhaps someone was picking up things at low tide.
If anybody has any idea what this was all about, let me know.
I wish I knew how these "wood grain" patterns formed across the sand's sedimentary layers. The sedimentary layers seem to be the horizontal lines (see my adjacent Medusa's Rainbow shot to see the larger, regulary-spaced, possibly annual collections of layers that this shot captures one of).
I was halfway in on a three mile hike when I discovered that my camera wasn't working. I hiked back out and determined that my battery charger had discharged both batteries! An hour and a slight charge later I was back on the trail.
Bones found outside and inside of a crypt that has long been forgotten about. The bones were gathered up and returned to the grave that had been dug up inside. Sorry if these photos upset anyone.

Conventional Osteosarcoma

These are not fossilized bones, but are well preserved. When the indians took what they wanted of the dead bison the sink hole was full of rotting carcasses. Then the scavangers moved in to clean up...the coyotes, wolfs, bears, etc...you wouldn't want to be in this area at that time and not just because of the stench of putrid flesh but because you would be fair game as well.
