AI-generated summary
Unknown human remains comprising left and right femora were discovered on a beach at Shallow Inlet, Victoria in November 2011. Forensic anthropological examination confirmed the bones were human and from a single adult individual, possibly male. The remains were heavily weathered with sand adhered, making precise dating impossible. No exact time since death could be determined. The coroner was unable to establish identity, location, date, or circumstances of death. Given the possible Aboriginal ancestry and local Aboriginal history, Aboriginal Affairs Victoria was notified for advice on appropriate disposition of the remains.
