Not arguing here Ray, but have worked with a lot of bone over the years. The bone I got was definitely not "fossilized". One could see the scorch marks and see dye penetration on a cross sectional cut. Of course I got this bone about 20-25 years ago and would not doubt things have gotten to that point about exports. Used to be able to buy ivory without issue now look at the situation.
