Jones1rocks Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This piece was given to me by a farmer that said he found it near a small creek that runs through his property here in Central Illinois in an area of deep Wisconsin Glacial Episode drift. Does not appear to be permineralized, but I am not sure. Does not stick to tongue. Specimen is definitely worn, with burnished rounding at sharp edges, and is very dark, almost looking like iron oxide with magnification. Canal through bone is tapering in diameter, but that could be due to loss of marrow. 3.25 x 2.5 x 1.75 inches in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would tend to suggest butchering or a misinterpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
