Some of my collection. All from just west of ft worth. Any experts please chime in if anything a rarity or unusual find. couple of jaw bones have me stumped if know what they are. also would like any knowledge of y’all think that fossilized mud had a bird foot print in it? hematite club or axe is interesting to me also. A lot of tool marks and cuts with polishing . Any experts in this also? have questions about quartz triangle, square, and perfect oval? Mystery artifacts to me. Possible some sort of early jewelry or something along the lines of shamen stones etc. all found in archaic to paleo camp near where I live. Many of old bones have tool or butchery marks on em also. Most look bison. Anything stand out other than bison or other extinct mammals?

Today my wife and I floated about 8 miles of the upper Kansas River. We started where the river starts. The conflux of the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers. We found lots of bones that were difficult to determine if they were bison or cattle, and then I finally found one that I think has to be bison. It is a vertebra with a very long spinal process. It has to be from the "hump" area of the bison. It is a little over 17" long! Other than that not too much in the way of old dead things. We did find a bunch of old bottles, and etc. most of them broken. This part of the river runs right through Fort Riley. I like to think that these old relics were once used in the old fort back when Custer was around. I kind of like the "fossil" harmonica I found. Twice we heard trumpets play revelry. I don't know why, but it was pretty cool. We also had fly overs of a Chinook, and Blackhawk helicopters. Then we had a flyover of a bald eagle. Me must have gotten a little too close to the nest, because he/she flew a lot closer than I was comfortable with. The finds were not great, but the adventure was. Ramo Oh, I almost forgot another of my favorite finds. The glass thing on the left side of the kayak photograph is the bottom of an old chicken water-er.
