I found this bone fossil fragment with a what looks like a hieroglyph on a Brazoria County, Texas beach the other day. I thought you all might like to see it. I've been studying this piece since I found it on the hightide. It looks to be Paleolithic vs Neolithic. The Paleolithic Era (or Old Stone Age) is a period of prehistory from about 2.6 million years ago to around 10,000 years ago. My conclusion. It is ancient and authentic bone art. The bone fragment is 1.25×1.25 and .25 thick. It looks like a hieroglyph shark to me. The engraving is about 1/8" deep and the entire fragment has a nice patina. After looking at it in 4 different orientations, the 2nd picture (head left) seems to be the best orientation because the fins are longer. I also have a picture to show the depth of the engraving. There aren't any other visible marks on the fragment. I've searched thru a lot of hieroglyphs, cave paintings and other bone art and I've not found anything fish/shark or water/sea related. I'm posting this fragment on a paleo artifacts site today for more professional opinions. In closing..... I'm also still looking hard for the rest of the bone/story. It seems like it might be a pretty good read.....) Your thoughts? A example of American Neolithic art.... http://m.newser.com/story/121865/ancient-mammoth-carving-first-record-of-art-in-north-america.html
