Hello, 'alwayslearning' . . .
What is the object in your second image? It resembles a sliver of bone that has been gnawed by rodents. Are you digging in a kitchen midden?
 
If you look closer you will see all those incised lines are patterned
 
thank you and I do know what everything is

What do you mean by "patterned"? What did you imagine this piece to be?

The way to distinguish between rodent gnawing and human work is this:

Rodent gnawmarks are paired and parallel, produced by the rodent upper incisors.. Human-produced cuts are single and not parallel..

What I see on your bone sliver at 400% zoom is paired (parallel) gnawmarks.

Welcome aboard alwayslearning.

Great looking Florida artifacts. I really like the Bone Arrowpoint and the drilled Sharks Teeth are too cool. But I have to agree with Harry on the one piece of Bone. I zoomed in as well and those are gnaw marks made by a rodent and not incising.
 
cool sharks teeth
 
thanks man I have a lot more stuff I'll post later when I get home
 
thanks guys on the enlightenment about the rodent knaw marks I guess I let my imagination run away with me
