View Larger Map Jersey City's Lincoln Park is scene of bone discovery as workers dig in construction of new golf course Friday, July 23, 2010 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER What appears to be a human bone was excavated in Lincoln Park in Jersey City yesterday by workers using earth moving machinery to construct a new golf course. "It has not yet been confirmed to be human, although it does appear to be a human femur bone," said Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio, adding that no other bones were found. The bone is only 8 inches long, DeFazio said, adding that it shows signs of decay and there is no flesh on it. The bone is light brown in color and was found in the soil 4 to 5 feet below the ground in an area of landfill containing a large amount of broken bottles, officials said. The bone was picked up by the state Regional Medical Examiner's Office in Newark and DeFazio said the medical examiner will attempt to make a definitive determination whether or not it is human. The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Homicide Squad was called to the park at 9:15 a.m. by the Hudson County Sheriff's Office, which patrols county parks.
