day long trip to a local spot

[adammaher]

hey guys some stuff i found recently i have some stuff for you all to look at, there is no one else around looking for fossils here (or anywhere close ,so i have nothing to compare to) this came from a really really old river i know this because i had previous material  brought in and he said it came from a river (head of matty mitchell center), I'm really close to the ocean, i think i found prettified charcoal, bone fragments, teeth (possibly crinoids), an egg? and random stuff pictures will be posted in that order, this is a hobbie for me but  all sites have been recorded,thanks for your time

I do see some coal fragments here, as well as some rocks that are non-fossils. It might help to number them so that we can refer to them individually for identification. As well, it may be an idea to retake these photos in better lighting such as outdoors in daylight, and use a ruler rather than a coin for scale (the coin's glare is dominating some of these shots, and most non-Canadians do not know our loonie has a diameter of 26.5 mm).

I wouldn't let your friends and neighbors know you're a rock licker,  it never goes over well.

The tooth looking items look like rusted nails, to me. 

Also, the items before and after the "teeth" look like concrete, to me.

Pictures are a bit too dark to make out details. If these are pottery shards with glaze, it is quite possible that they were transported by water. All sorts of debris gets washed up on beaches from sometimes very far off places.

ill take another few pictures but theres no water other then ocean near by this is a sat image of where im digging red is where i found the pottery i found the other stuff in the cut out the house are all build in the past 10-20 years

It doesn't look too far from the coast. The levels do ebb and flow over a longer time span, so it is possible that it washed in at some point more than 20 years ago due to storm swells, etc. As it appears modern, we can likely rule out early First Nations artifact.

[adammaher]

no i dont think it washed up the elevation to great of a distance i circled in red where im digging only good pic i could see of it lol and a picture of the ocean across the road, also the road in the sat image is the dry river i think im sure of it as its not a actual road

[adammaher]

the peices were under a moss layer

[adammaher]

oh i never even included this strange peice  

[Auspex]

That I can tell, this one contains the only fossils in the bunch:

Never underestimate human transportation of objects.

This big strange one appears to be a concretion--a somewhat common geologic process forming spherical or ovoid shapes in sedimentary rocks.

The last pieces are clay pipe stem pieces. These type of disposable pipes were widely used pre 1900.
