Nice pieces... But... What are they?

[NC field hunter]

I have found many of these. All of these are either like new, or wore slap out. Are they large knives or what?



Another odd find that I frequently run across are these.















These are also found in a wide variety of sizes.







Thanks guys

I see that in the bottom 3. Why do the top 3 have a notch in the same spot? I can show more of them. My friend has one that is 16'' long. Same notch.??

the ones on top could have been
unfinished spokeshaves that just did not work out
but i might be thinking a bit too deep about these.....
.....but i like the material... it is something we don't have in this area

Considering the amount of rayholite in North Carolina that's probably what it is. here are pieces being sold as slabs on a knapping website.

Is it pertrified? Does look like bone now that you mention it.

I'm sure it's stone. The area it was found in is covered with glacier sediment.

those aren't necessarily notches, looks like they used them as scrapers

I trust you Gator. I'll try it tomorrow. I ain't skeerd! It wouldn't be human would it??

It doesn't work on all of them. It kind of depends on how they were preserved or fossilized. It would be funny to get you to lick them though. LOL.

Lol. It is a creepy thought, but I'm sure we ingest nastier things daily.
