Appreciate you, note on archeology side we have found broken archaic points down from where most of the items where found. Also crude stone tools and workings more in the general area so we are just wanting to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep looking! Definitely! A side note we did find this shell buried at other family owned creek bed. Second one from research appears to possibly be petrified bamboo. Shell is snapping turtle our thinking. Edited September 5, 2021 by Creekfinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Second item after turtle shell is another rock. Not a fossil.
