There is more than one bone where red marrow is found in the adult. At birth, all bone marrow is red. With age, more and more of it is converted to the yellow type.
Adults have on average about 2.6kg (5.7lbs) of bone marrow, with about half of it being red. Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the proximal ends of the long bones: the femurs and humeruses.
