This is not my specimen or my picture, I'm posting a link to reddit. It is just so bizzare I want to here the take of folks here. Someone posted a picture of what they think is a mandible cross section in a travertine flor in their parent's house... What do you all think? Genuine? Fake? Is it possible?

I found this in the dunes near the beach in an uninhabited point off the coast of South Carolina in Charleston harbor. The US army corp of engineers periodically dredge the harbor to make it deeper and dumped the tailing at the tips of islands which is where this was found. The area is where people go to hunt for meg teeth, and you can also find many pieces of fossilized ice age animal bones. Occasionally, bits of stone tools are found there too. Anyway, I’m wondering what animal this might be. More importantly, it looks like humans may have processed it, but I’m not positive. 1. The hole through the middle of the bone is cleanly drilled, straight, and symmetrical all the way through. 2. The bottom is perfectly flat as if it’s been cut and ground down against something. The rest of the bone is not weathered in the same way. The outer edges of bone on the bottom are polished all the way around. 3. The mud/dirt on the flat bottom filling the pores in the bone is also perfectly flat and fossilized in place. For mud to fill the pores, the bone would have needed to be cut flat prior to fossilization. 4. There is evidence of wear around the hole that’s hard to see in the pictures (along the top of the bone, along the inner edges of the hole on both sides). The wear spots match where a string would go if this were tied to something. Does anyone have an idea what animal this is? Could a natural process could have created both the hole and flat bottom? Could this be evidence of paleo indians processing the bone?

What type of fossil bone is this? Any information? Found in northern New Mexico.

I found this in northern New Mexico where there is a history of Pueblo culture. Found on/in a creek bank. I don't know anything about it other than they definitely seem to be bone.

I know it’s probably a dumb thing to think but me and my wife can’t get over how much this looks like a human skull in every way. Been looking online just for some answer on how to identify if it is or isn’t. I found it in a river almost completely submerged in a nasty mud and green water that was in a calm of the river

Earliest humans stayed at the Americas 'oldest hotel' in Mexican cave
Darbi posted a topic in Fossil News
Not sure if it's relevant enough to paleontology. Isn't stone tools older than 10k years considered a form of hominoid ichnofossil? Anyway, they claimed the stone tools they found in a cave is as old as 30k years old, that mean humans were in Americas 15k years earlier than originally thought. If they or others find more evidences to support this claim, that would be awesome! On a different note, that led me to think why we have not found any fossils from different human species, such as Neanderthals or Homo erectus, in Americas and also if they never crossed to Americas, what prevented them? https://phys.org/news/2020-07-earliest-humans-americas-oldest-hotel.html?fbclid=IwAR0EzYeHRzrfdpV7q0twpiwJAXiBA-hkwQUUOQaEonltGz4r3MjAmcEWUWY-

Human fossils and human evolution are one of my favorite paleobiology topics to read, anyway... https://phys.org/news/2020-07-ancestral-commonalities-modern-human-body.html?fbclid=IwAR3xY_ryIR7f8q2yb_DdkgCu9D0qYzgPh6L-VGfv22d5y6Ew6wOKwtUVK88 Markus Bastir et al.

Found this along the Cape Fear River Basin in Bladen County, North Carolina. I was hunting petrified wood and stumbled across this fossil that resembles a skull. Could someone possibly help me to identify it?

I found this bone near a very old gravesite in the Colorado Rockies many years ago. Not sure if it's human. It's old though.

Found these by a body of water in a field what look like it would have been a good place for an Indian Mound if it look the same then as it does now
