The best guesses are it's a tailbone from a bison but the thing is way bigger than one I've ever seen. It was halfway through fossilization so it was old. Who knows it could be from a wooly rino. I sent picks to the MN zoo and never got any response. I've found old bison jawbones and have found elk antlers in a creek bed.Fish Felon wrote:Bad Freaking Ass.

Right now my initial guess is that what I found came from a giant beaver....the long extinct prehistoric species, not a really large modern beaver.
The flint point is from around 4,000 bc and was for a atl-atl. It's made of white chert (flint). They have only been found in Lyon county and Kandi counties. So it may be one of or if not the first found in Redwood county. If I showed you where I found it you would think that it makes sense that it was there. It's an ancient game trail on a long point surrounded by cliffs.
The tailbone was found not far from the area (10 min walk) that I found that point.
