My favorite find.

[runningbird671]

I found this beautiful Piece of History Along with most of the skeleton of a Equus Giganteus, "Largest horse on fossil record". I donated the Partial skeleton To the Grinnelle Iowa college. I, however, kept this piece along with several others for my collection. I believe that it is a Hand held maul That I find special Because of a

snake totem Carved into the reverse. I believe that it might be bone as well.
Hope you enjoy My Discoveries and any comments are great. I could be wrong on what it is So I welcome anyone's thoughts, thank you.

That's pretty cool. If I had seen that, I would have thought it was just a rock.

Looks like a rock that got hit by the plow a couple times to me.

My imagination goes no further than a weathered rock.
Don in SoCal.

I found it about a foot and a 1/2 to 2 feet under the sand and in a large Creek Nowhere near a field.. I pulled it out Same spot as the equus Giganteus bones I found. Definitely not plow mark's.

Maybe some type of glacial scarring. I’m not seeing it as an artifact. I can see why you noticed it though. It has a distinct appearance. I’d say a good one for the rock garden.

Nice bones! Thanks for posting.

 

[Tony in SC]

Great find!! Did you get a time period on the bones?

Great find!! Did you get a time period on the bones?

I did not, but this species went extinct about 12000 years ago So they have to be older than that..

 

[Gare]

AMAZING FINDS Did you get anyone to ID the bones ?
