We consider nuclei produced in core collapse supernovae and subjected to a high neutron flux. We show that an accelerator mass spectrometry experiment that searched for traces of anomalous iron isotopes could set limits on the order of 10^-20-10^-25 on (or perhaps discover) Pauli principle violation by neutrons. A similar search for anomalous Co isotopes could set limits in the range 10^-13-10^-18 on Pauli principle violation by protons. We show that existing data on Oxygen can be used to set a
more » ... limit of about 10^-17 in one proposed model of such violation.
