Description:
On June 17, 2022, a family looking for sea shells on Salmon Creek Beach in Sonoma County, California came across a long bone sticking out of the sand. The bone contained surgical hardware and a later pathology examination revealed it was possibly a tibia.
A search of the discovery area did not reveal any further remains. However, DNA testing has confirmed that this bone belonged to a Caucasian man.
