I was just going to ask is it Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral? Is it larger or smaller than a Volkswagen?

Its not necessary to crop so tight. Take another picture with something for size reference. Thanks and welcome to TN.

Sorry new at this I had a description I thought. I found it while arrowhead hunting in Missouri several years back , it is 6" long 2" across and real dense and hard

Welcome to T-Net Mr Chris.



These guys are real good in here but you may want to post this over in the "American Indian Artifacts" board if no one can get it here.

Yes, a couple of view pics (verticle and horizontal) including a coin or someing as reference would help.

Yep, that's it. Good ID Jeff!
I know that I've got some specimens around here that I've also found in the midwest(Kansas). The sedimentary composition of the area yields many examples of your find and also crinoids, bivalves and brachiopods.


Best,
Scott
