Riverrokk Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Hello! Found in NW Alabama, Franklin county, near creek. Not sure if these are fossils, but there is a perfect hole near wide edge of the larger "half". Yes, the photos are of 2 peices that appear similar/same, as with the upper and lower bills/beaks of birds..Red Color from lighter can b seen in photos. Could it/they be from Native American adornment, or even much further back in time?? thanks! Chris Edited March 11 by Riverrokk Forgot to mention there are 2 peices, 1 with drill hole , thanks.

Danielb Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I’m thinking modern bison or bull horn. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Harvey Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The hole is definitely manmade. In antebellum times, gunpowder was stored in cowhorn flasks. I believe that is what you found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I agree with Harry... we want to see a photo of the broken/cut end. There is an interesting holei n it. Wonder what that is about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
