Definition: The word "oxglux" comes from the Old Norse word "Xo", meaning "fossils" or "bones," and "glΓΊx," meaning "blood." It describes a fossilized, dried bone fragment, often found in ancient human bones.
Here are its definition:
1. Fossilized Bone: The bone fragment is typically a hard bone, which has been subjected to exposure to the elements over time. It can be up to 5-30 meters (20-100 feet) in length and usually remains relatively intact.
2. "Blood" Stone: The word oxglux refers to a type of fossil known as blood stone. These bones are rich in minerals, which make them attractive for fossil hunters. Blood stones have been found at sites like Stonehenge and on the shores of Lake Michigan.
The "oxglux" term is used primarily in context with other archaeological finds such as fossilized human bones that date back thousands or even millions of years from our distant past.
