## Caption

Matthew Gregg and his German shorthaired pointer weren't expecting to find anything during their morning walk on the beach in Bay Head -- much less a 10,000 year old bone. 😳🦴

"I was like, ‘This has to be a fossil of some sort; it’s got to be old,’” said Gregg, 42. “It was just sitting right there on top of the sand."

And he was right: They stumbled across a walrus bone that could be from the ICE AGE according to researchers at Edelman Fossil Park & Museum.
