Help ! never have come across one like this St Clair County Illinois

[Colonial Digger]

I am just not sure what it is ? looks carved, worked, shaped somewhat like a arrowhead , but a lighter stone than what I normally find. Any idea's or who to take it to?

I thought the same at first but its stone.

Squirrel gnawed piece of bone or antler..

Still could be rodent gnawings.

Tdog and prairie prowler are correct, I have a antler that I found a few years back that was chew on, and they match, I just did not catch it , but it is still a cool piece. Thanks' for the help.

I am going to back the other guys on animal gnawing. Right stone I suppose they may gnaw it for the mineral. Looks like an old antler gnawed. BUT, could be natural erosion on right stone I suppose.

Idk fellas ever bone/antler I’ve ever found wasn’t chewed in 30 different directions like that,it’s odd looking to me. I would think a rodent would keep working it like corn on the cob that’s how they do antlers I’ve found. Idk what it is but I think it’s something else
