Ramon Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hello fellow members, I recently took a trip down to Crystal Beach, in Bolivar peninsula, Texas. I was on the beach for about an hour. I kept on finding small sized fossilized fragments of bone (probably from the late Pleistocene Beaumont Clays). I found 4 small pieces this past Monday. They are all just small fragments, probably not identifiable. I was about to go back to the car after walking for about 2 miles on the beach, when I stumbled upon this. It has a hole in it, and is oddly symmetrical. It looks like it’s made out of pottery. I really don’t know what else this could be, other than a Native American artifact. Let me know what y’all think this could be.

caldigger Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Where do you see symmetry on this piece? It looks like a flat water tumbled beach stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drawing this line through the middle shows the symmetry of the piece.It has a different density and texture than that of the stones at the beach. It does look worn down, I am thinking it may have been a piece of pottery. But I am no expert.
