  • In this video, I find a lot of good stuff that... well, I don't really know for sure what it is. But it's good stuff! Not as good as the last two hunts, if we're purely talking numbers. However, there are still some great finds and a lot of variety. And a LOT of questions!

    My mind is BOGGLING! I don't know what to think! The endless possibilities! 😂. I hope that big chunk is part of a mastodon tusk, that would be ultimate 🔥.

      It sounds like a lot of people think it's not a tusk BUT probably is mega fauna bone

    Your title wasnt lying.. I have so many inquiries about them bone and antler pieces. I saw a diagram somewhere showing a pressure flaker that had bone on the top and under the tool edge so all the same time so when the user hinged the handle it would pop off a nice flake. Think about a duck’s mouth. Im not sure thats what you have but anything is a possibility. I like the tool handle idea a lot.

    I think antler is def something. It's been hollowed out. I've found lots and lots of pieces of antler even antler tools like billets and pressure flakers, I can't remember ever finding a hollow one.
    P.S. That looks like megafauna bone, not tusk. I have some big chunks of tusk you can have to keep as a reference if you like.

      I do believe your knife blade broke where a vein of cortex ran through the chert.
      The other piece is indeed a bone. Tusks/ivory have a very distinctive look about the inside structure, and this doesn’t have that. Definitely a bone. I don’t know if distinguishing between mastodon, mammoth, or giant sloth would be possible.
