Indian Tool (potentially)
I thought it was bone, but pretty sure it's wood...Found today in North Florida area that has produced arrowheads. While I'm unsure if this is a tool, what strikes me is how it is worn (or purposfully chipped) along what I named the "front" view photo equally on all four sides (the dark part along edges of front photo). This would not seem possible based on an animal eating it or randomly by the elements. I am sending photos to some experts at area universities to get multiple opinions. The worn areas now appear porous so I would think that is a clue if that happens after it has been chipped away vs. worn by nature. The tiny holes in it are visible along dark part of front photo and the middle raised part is still smooth. The back is smooth like raised area on front and does have tiny grooves that could be marks where it was 'worked' all along the edge, but would take an expert to see in person. Doesn't show on camera. Thoughts appreciated.
