POPS"The oldest, most spectacular and rare work of art in the Americas" more: Kennedy found the brown and tan bone two years ago and put it under his sink. About two months ago, he took it out for cleaning and spotted unusual lines. He had been considering selling it at a flea market. Instead, he showed it to a fellow collector, William Roddenberry of Vero Beach, who was amazed. They took it to the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville for examination. When Kennedy learned it was so historically valuable, he said, "It blew me away. I was absolutely baffled." The etched bone is being kept in a vault. The site where it was found isn't being disclosed.
