I found this wrapped around an antler on the beach today. I can't figure out how to post more than one pic though. Just curious about how long it has been in the water.

Those things deteriorate and fade the moment you breathe on them. They've used the same ink/paper for at least the last 10 years.

Probably super recent and got tossed with the antler after cleaning/transportation.

They use that plastic paper stuff for everything from game tags to parking permits. There's no way to know once the thermal ink fades.

I figured that, I just couldn't remember when they started using that type of paper, and that would at least give me an idea of how old it possibly could be
