Guess the Object

You won, it's your turn to post a picture

 

It's a Dog Tree you can tell by the bark.

 

Good guess…but no

 

Is it dried mud.

 

Yes….but a very specific kind…..

 

It's not the stuff they make toothpaste from is it?

 

Good guess..but nope

 

Clay?

 

I’ll never get this one

 

Fossil?

 

It’s probably a “buffalo chip”, LOL!

 

A mud hut.

 

It's the footprint (pawprint) of an animal, probably a dog.

 

Flagstone mud fossil?

 

The clue must be the name of he who posted it. I think it must be granite (rock)

 

Clever!

 

Almost!

 

An impression, mold or cast?

 

Technically these are correct, so lots of good guesses! It is a fragment of a Pre-Columbian pot found in our family garden about 70 years ago……overlooking Lake Butte Des Morts, WI. Very common find in our neighborhood. It is fired from a glacial red clay. The next door land was a burial ground dating back at least 2 millennia used by generations of succeeding tribes. I’ try to include a picture of the entire fragment but I’m still trying to learn the technique.
