Look forward to any feedback!!! Please.

Any help I could get to identify what any of these rocks are would be great. The first one appears to have something broken off inside it. It's obviously some kind of tool. The other 5 pieces with holes through them I believe to be fishing weights? The two white pieces I think are bone. They too have been drilled out. Looking forward to any feedback... Thanks

Looks like you have a piece of sedimentary rock with crinoid or spiral snail shell fossils in it..the impressions anyway.
The two light colored pieces might be kaolin clay pipe stem pieces.
The dark ones....?? Not sure,but definitely natural,maybe fossils.

Kaolin clay pipe pieces

I think " gator" nailed your pieces spot on!

 

[SMALLIEWHACKER]

I don't!!!! I think people on here are a farce!! It's comical really!! If you have not a clue please be humble enough to realize it!!!

 

[releventchair]

Whoa Smallie.
Gator knows his stuff and is recognized for his experience.
You asked for feedback and offer no thanks when you receive it?
Here's a couple clues. Don't ask for what you can't handle, and be humble yourself.

the only feedback Ive got is about your response. Why get mad at someone for trying to help.

Now that is funny
...start a post asking for feedback then respond like that to it?
Sorry if you have sour grapes,I know it stinks to hear something may not be what you thought... You should think about your statement here and maybe heed your own advice honestly.
I know I'm pretty hard headed sometimes and I've stepped in "it" on this forum several times.... don't be like me.
Happy hunting

Look at the inside of that large broken piece. If that circle area has a star shape in the center then that may be a crinoid in a rock. Hard to tell with that photo posted.

Worm tube fossil, fairly common. Gator pretty much nailed it in his first post. The only thing uncommon here is the original posters response.

After thinking about it for a moment, that kind of response is common.

You asked for help and the first response you got was from GatorBoy who does indeed know whereof he speaks. Sometimes you can't tell a lot from pics but from just lookin at those pics you right off got the best evaluation you could get from anybody on here. Just out of curiousity, what do you think they are, or do you not have a clue?

So now you got everybody makin fun at your expense. Well, I guess the title of your post is, 'Look forward to any feedback!!! Please. You're welcome.

It's easy to see where the "fork in the road" occurred.

It seems a lot of this goes on in this forum....Someone posts some pictures of some rocks, fossils, more modern ceramics, etc., asking for opinions...then when the opinions point out that they are not artifacts...the original poster gets ballistically butt-hurt, and commences to jump the people that only tried to help, and educate them. Then they always tell us how wrong we are, and what jokes we are, etc....pointing out the fact in doing so, that they weren't after opinions at all, but just some back pats, and dropped jaws from all the stunned onlookers, who line up to agree with them.

This always...of course...ends with the original poster telling everyone that the "local archeologist" or guy from the local museum has confirmed, or will confirm, that they are the find of the century, and we'll all be sorry....followed by the information that the guy from the Portable Rock Art website confirmed that they are, indeed, miniature sculptures of a Bigfoot/alien/Chupacabra hybrid...

Do not attack members...

You posted same rocks in Feb on your first thread and was told then they were just geo-facts, posting them 3 months later will not change them into artifacts. You also stated in Feb when you posted them that you were a newbie at this..

We have many extremely knowledgeable members on artifacts and it does no one any service to encourage new hunters to collect geo-facts when they want artifacts.


Several different members posts deleted, remember mocking violates our rules and helps nothing..

Are you sure you don't have something a little bit like this? It sure looks like a natural cast of a fossil snail of some sort.

 

[PalmettoPride]

Looks like a hit and run job. I agree with Gatorboy's take on the white pieces (kaolin pipe stem pieces) and good guesses about the others; I don't have anything to add except to say that the original poster's response was very narrow-minded (I'm being diplomatic here).

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I am not even going to give you my opinions on those because you aren't worth me wasting my knowledge from 50 years of collecting. I hope you are removed from the site immediately.

Posts like these remind me of the time when I was in a class on Oklahoma firearms law. Most of us were thrilled to have that particular instructor for the class, knowing his experience and background. MOST of us, anyway. One guy kept arguing with the instructor about what the laws 'really meant', and the instructor patiently tried to explain his view on it. Finally, the class idiot told the instructor 'that was NOT the intent of that law!' The instructor was a short guy but he suddenly looked about 10 feet tall when he looked ol idiot in the eye and said 'Buddy, I co-authored that bill and wrote that law, don't tell me what I intended.' Cool moment in my life, and we all clapped. Good lesson. Never argue with the experts, and you might actually learn something.
