Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well.
I found this in a creekbed in west Alabama where I hunt for fossils from the Cretaceous period. I have found some Paleo-Indian artifacts in this area as well. Wondering if anyone knows what this object is. The raised "string-like" areas follow a pattern as if it has been wound around the rock. The bottom sides are somewhat smooth as well as two of the longer sides-opposite each other. Is it an artifact? Or some sort of fossil? Or none of the above.
Thanks for you help!
