Maybe a bear tooth or claw effigy? I really don't know, but I'd sure take it home if I found it. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks here can help you out.

what was the context of the find? Where was it found? In a field? A waterway? on a gravel bar?

Can you post views of the item showing different angles please?

Petrified tooth. That quarter is a long way from home.

It’s an iron concretion of some sort and almost certainly not an artifact. I’ve found quite a few similar rocks in the musselshell area. I’ve kept them all because I think their pretty cool.

It was lying just on top of the ground, but this is ranching/farming grounds. Always something disturbing the ground. Native American game balls were brought to the surface recently after plowing. I can send more pics later. Appreciate all the ideas.🤗

it does not fit any artifact category that i am aware of
