Help please.

[Mr Chris]

I tried posting in Fossils what is it and only got one respose, so I figured I might try here. I found these two pieces near Lewisville Lake dam where they are moving dirt for some houses. The are is said to have one of the earliest known human occupation in North America from evidence of burn pits. The small tube shaped piece looks to be bone maybe due to the cellular type middle with harder outer shell? and the other one looks like a petrified peanut. Any help would be much appreciated . Thanks

So... What's the question?

Call the police and tell them you found human remains, then, you'll get an answer real quick at the state's expense.

Everything above this line is bad advice.

Of course you understand nobody here can help more than someone in real life. Is there a local University that may have a medical or anthropological studies venue?

 

[Mr Chris]

Being as it is in the What Is It forum, I would like to know what it is ? Thanks

The turd-like thing could be exactly thatetrified scat. A friend gave me one several years ago. Mine was from a tiny reptilian. Yours-who knows.

That's exactly what I thought... Proof that Mr. Hanky was here along with the earliest settlers in North America. I second the University idea. They could probably tell you exactly what it it.

Fact - Petrified saber-tooth tiger scat can be found all over the Bad Lands in S. Dakota. A microscope might tell the tale.

I guess getting a serious answer here is out of the question. If anyone can help with the bigger "non poop" piece I would appreciate it, I am more interested in that piece. Thanks

Could be a small section of petrified tree ( palm ). I looks like there were round porous holes in and around the center part? That's my assumption without seeing it in person.

The round one could be a plant or it could also be coral. I'm far from an expert on fossils, but those would be my first guess.
