My German Shepherd has been on a runner a couple of hours a day for 4 years and has dug up quite a few things but this is a find I had to share

Looks like a water worn colomela or similar shell fragment. Tell him to dig deeper....

Is that a joint?

 

[crashbandicoot]

Maybe a hog tusk?

Is that a joint?

No it's not a joint I thought it was from my brothers dog but it's older then that, there was a ocean here 1000 years ago it must be from that

Maybe it is a sun Bleached Jalapeno? ;-) Looks interesting...

Thats interesting because that's what Google was telling me or a dog penis lol that's what brought me here was I's find of a fossil dogs penis it was another google find

 

[Scrappy]

Is it hollow or solid. Have a picture of the end? Thx

Its solid, someone said it looked like a piece of coral and I have a big coral here and compared even though mine has been in my home and not buried and definitely not as old but I think it makes sense, right now my yard looks like that movie "Holes" lol my fiance who loves to dig up old bottles and marbles was out there seeing what else he could find, the ocean was where I live probably around 1000 years ago

That's not the the bone out of a dog pecker(baculum),I've cut lots of those out of coyotes and bear.

Weird

Is that a jo

Is that a joint?

Is it light or heavy, it's not baculum this are flatter from side to side. On my phone ,if I zoom in it kind of looks like the dark spots could be little knots, could it be wood

Yeah I believe it's part of a coral but it has to be old there hasn't been a ocean here for over 1000 years at my house that is I'm about 10mls from the beach

Villagenut has it right, it’s a worn piece of mollusc shell, probably the columella of a large gastropod. The holes/dark spots are the remains of a sponge (probably Cliona) which bores into shells.

I agree with these guys.

I was wrong about how long ago the ocean was here the warm sea covered my area over 10.000 years ago and coral, jellyfish and Pteridinium was plentiful I read.
