Long time no see! How are you everyone?! Here's the story.On June 20, we had just stopped raining, it was cloudy, and I thought it wasn't too hot, so I went to look for a fossil that I had found earlier. It suddenly looked like a spindle worm. But the structure is different. I don't know what it is. Who can tell me? Trapezoid, 2cm long, 1cm wide.Found in the Anyang River. Wow, let me start by sharing with you what I had for breakfast. This kind of food is only available in our city. It's called 'Bian Fen Cai(You know KFC, we jokingly call it BFC)'.Transparent noodles are made of sweet potatoes.Green vegetables, tofu and pig's blood are added and stewed in bone broth.Why don't many regions eat animal blood? Difficult question, but we have a lot of blood food here, and there's a legend that goes back a long time.During the hunting days here, blood and guts were difficult to preserve, so the men turned them into food, bringing easy-to-preserve meat to the women and children of the camp. Digress, this is delicious. Why have I been missing for so long? In 2021, we had a lot of rain here, and my car went for a swim like this. So I can't go far away.So I went by bike. It only took me an hour. Digress again,I miscalculated. There was no sun, but the earth was steaming.When I was frustrated at not finding such a fossil, I casually picked up a rock with the stone skipping.I suddenly realized that the Anyang River had no such stones. It was covered in mud, but I could tell it was flaky mica sandstone.Between this rock source and the Anyang River, there are other rivers that isolate the sediment.So it has to do with Cultural relic. Yes, its edges are ground. There are perforations on both sides, but they're not pierced. Found some information, it should belong to the Xiaonanhai culture.Carbon-14 dates this civilization to about 13,000 years ago.This civilization is on the Anyang River, and interestingly, the earliest writing in China is also on the Anyang River.As for the fate of the stone, of course, it is donated to the museum. Ah, our city is really Historical cities. Have a good day. Wait, who's gonna tell me what that fossil is?

Find this laying on top of Pierre shale out cropping as if it was dropped by bird or came out of above matrix. I tried putting a tip of it into vinegar and did not fizle but it did degrade the bone and made it soft so it would kind of fall into powder pieces when scraped. I tried burning the tip of it but it did not burn might have been because it was wet from the vinegar. What could it be? Thanks!

I didnt find this, but inherited it from my dad who passed away last year. He got it from his friend,( 1990s i think) who passed away shortly thereafter. In 2011, it was put on display at the local museum as an 'indian relic'. It was also sent to 2 colleges for analysis. I was told that it was determined not to be man made which dismissed the artifact idea. This is what i can tell u from what little i know ofit.... it was found in Macon county, NC, USA. It was stored at WCU until I asked the museum to return the item last year. I think its an osteoderm fossil? Thanx for any info. Weight 50.2 pounds Dimensions 12" long x 9" wide x 6" deep approx.

Hi- now I know that this is not a fossil, but with so much knowledge here I wanted to ask you about this. Found in ne Illinois-it's about 3/4 oz and magnetic. It's solid metal. Any ideas what type of stone this is? Thanks
