Some type of strange limestone chert nodule.

Dunno....

Never found anything like this or anything made out of material like this.

Interesting. The one side doesn't look too out of the ordinary but the other side is a head scratcher.


I also like the TV/VCR combo, artifact.

How, and where do you folks find all those?

Renegade50:

Google up "Teredo wood." It's a worm/clam-eaten petrified wood found in several forms.

Along our coast, one can find chunks of modern wood similarly consumed today.

Lots of neat stuff showing up recently. Keep it up troops.

Found a mano, nutting stone/hammer stone other day. Will post when I get a moment

Oviod blade and small adena on left are from last week.
Rest just got home from finding them ( probably 3 miles of walking) Big Sandy and the stemmed serrated kirk pretty decent finds.
Couple of em were nutcrusher please don't be all broke da fugg up finds.

Our chert and limestone comes mostly from a 300ft thick layer of Ordovician limestone. Shallow warm seas.

That is a common rock pattern here, I want to lean toward oolitic limestone. Another guess fossiliferous limestone, duh. But anyway
We do have and I have found a few tools and a point made with the hulls of Lithostrotion coral bedded within.
