This fellow i know found these shells and this gear? Prehistoric doughnut? lol. They are all fossils, but I have no idea in the world WTH this thing is, and asked for help finding out anything I could if possible. Anyone here ever seen one before, and maybe have an Identification name for it. They are from Europe found in a river bed.   |

First one oyster of some sort. Second one appears to be a stone mace head, not uncommon in some areas. Or it could just be something that looks like a stone mace head *L*. N North America Amerinds used donut shaped weights on digging sticks too...Mel

Modified for sure, same thought I had.  Thanks Guys. Stone Mace makes sense....for cracking open those large oysters.  He found a few that large and intact. Only one of the Mace thinga-majiggers. |

Must be an Alberta thing.. My mother as born in Onion Lake and grew up Peace River!  Now this is becoming a little weird. My mother in law and wife's maiden name is Burd, who just passed away at Xmas is from Onion lake. Any relation? |

Hard to know... no records. My mom passed 2 years ago. Definitely weird. Her native father was a Longfeather. Complicated... the Band leaders that held records were murdered in the late 20's and the Longhouse burned. There is an historical record but only the white version... my mom was just a toddler!

Thunderstorm just came and went power went down. Brief but needed moisture. Let me have some time with this and I "might" is the key word, have a few answers regarding the last name Longfeather. From family here. |

The mace I guess would be from the Inca era. It was cool stuff to see. Thanks, for the Florida clam link. |
