Turtle rock and others. Help?

[bsit1361]

These are all peices I have picked up while huntin. Never really knew what to think of them. Probably natural but would like some input. 1st is a gouge looking rock I picked up in a lowtide on a spot I call the kitchen because of all the knives and scrapers. Next is a little bowl rock from the same spot and day. The following couple pix is an oblong peice with completely smooth top and bottom with rounded rough sides found in the same stream as the gorget. On 1 end it gets bulbous. Rest of the pix are of an interesting rock found in the same general area I found my grooved axe. The bottom is very smoothed and the top is somewhat rough. It is shaped exactly like a turtle shell. Its edges flare all the way around. On the "head" end it is turned up and smoothed and polished and the "tail" end is chipped a little. We keep this in the living room a s conversational peice and I have allways wondered if its anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys. How bout that clovis of srv. Cant beat that.

very interesting though. I would plant something in them and stick them in the window sill .............unless they're artifacts..................well I might still do it, but that's just me

I love turtles. Not many people take care of them well enough to have them as long as you have. Well done!! You need two more so you can name them Meshach and Abednego. Then you'll have the famous trio.

I had a red eared slider named Shelly, that was stolen from me when she was outside sunbathing. Broke my heart. I really loved her.

Weird I have also been a victim of turtle theft. At one point there was the whole trio. One is in a breeding center for diamond back terripans and the other is sadly gone to the big pond in the sky.

Well does anyone think the "turtle" could be an artifact? Maybe rubbing stone. Definetly weird with the polished upturned bottom and rough dome top.

do not know, you said it looks like artifact, did you say it felt like artifact, i think it looks like artifact mabe is artifact, turtle in hiding. effigy stone,.. Peachy, if that is the way you like to display some of your artifacts, i bet you have some very pretty artifact displays, and you sure will not hurt the atifacts unless you leave them out side in the coldddd like this winter has been.....T.
