In my hunt to find things on my shoreline Ottertail county Minnesota on North Turtle Lake I have collected what I have been told by the University of Minnesota are bison bones. I broke my wrist collecting this spring so I have been reduced to looking over my finds and I noticed for the first time what looks like cut marks. I have also found various tools including a core rock. Does anyone know if these are marks made by a tool?

American Pleistocene Equidae(Horse) Tool Marks
rich1051414 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
So when i was growing up, my mother came across a, then unknown to her, fossil while arrowhead hunting with my father. When i got old enough for it to grab my attention, I did research and found it to be from a horse, which obviously makes it at least 12,000 years old. Well a few days ago after looking at the fossil again, I found something i found interesting, very obvious tool marks. I'll attach some images and please let me know anything you know about what I have. I have read conflicting accounts as to when Native Americans actually came to America, anywhere from 60,000 to 12,000 years ago, but this fossil forces me to believe it is closer to 60,000 than 12,000, as the horses were all but extinct by then.
