NOT holding out too much hope, but thought I'd show it anyway. It has the look of larson's posts, it's old, more stone than bone. I found it in an 008.JPG 004.JPG 005.JPG 006.JPG area I've found tools, pottery and points. Not a whole lot, but anyway. I'm afraid it may be too much gone to tell anything, and the ends could look that way from being in the creek. But I thought maybe it has been buried in sand, and that's why it's still around....what cha'll think?

maybe, except I've found so many bone fragments that are convex/concave like this one.....

Maybe parts to a shaman's ''bag of bones'' . Or a game piece?

Looks like a fragment of Pleistocene fossilized bone, not sure on it being a tool.

I agree. Looks like a chunk of fossil bone, maybe even a piece of 'bark' from a mastodon tusk. (The outer layers separate during the freeze/thaw cycle, and people call those pieces bark.)
