Be careful!

The Chiricahuas are a National Monument established April 18, 1924.

Nice find.

Nice artifact! It reminds me of the one I found in a Tennessee overhang many years ago. Long story short, it was bone about 4 inches long with a snake like diamond pattern down one side. I couldn’t wait to get home and clean it up. I made a fatal mistake, held it under the bathroom faucet and turned the water on, that’s the last I seen of it, disenagraded Instantly. Lesson learned.
