Welcome to TreasureNet. Sorry, all I see is natural stone.

Can you take a clear picture looking into hole?

Pictures 6 and 7 are the best I could get of the hole. It’s fossilized so it’s going to look like rock but it is definitely a bone or maybe an antler. There are chew marks on it from some prehistoric animal munching on it. I added a pic of those and a closeup of the spongey structure on it as well. The shape though is what I was trying to figure out. It looks like a dagger to me but I can’t tell if it’s just a natural break or purposefully made this way.

sure was a bone at one point, I am going to go ahead and say no on being an tool artifact, the shaping doesn't seem purposeful enough
 

Hole does not look made made.
 

If an artifact, what is it used for? I'd say it's not bone, it would have to be pathological in the extreme. My guess, petrified wood or plant material.
 

Hello. I found this in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and was wondering if you thought it was an artifact or just naturally broke in this shape. It looks like fossilized bone and there is this little hole in the side of it that I have no clue what it is. Any ideas would be amazing. Thank you!
Hoffa leg bone🤔

Welcome to Tnet!!!
 

Looks fossil like to me, but not a man worked piece.
