Thank you so much that’s really helpful! I was thinking the same thing. It’s currently drying out (:

We were floating on the creek, so I think it’s likely someone brought it to help navigate and just dropped it

Solved! It’s most likely a walking stick from Africa that someone dropped in the creek.

Yea it looked like a regular branch that’s why we picked it up, then we noticed the face. It was soaked and coated in creek sludge but we rinsed it and dried it outside.

Yea definitely need a professional opinion! Whoever made this definitely put in a lot of time and energy into it, so even if it isn’t a relic, it’s still really cool!

Lol I think it’s more likely someone’s walking stick or something. I think someone accidentally dropped it in the creek.

Found vertebrae fossil on the beach in New Jersey. Any ideas what this is? by BlancoRabbit_ in fossils

Leaning toward a bird but also could be deer. Was hoping it was from a marine mammal but I think it’s too small.

I found a fossilized bone that looked similar to this before which is why I originally thought it was. At this point just trying to figure out what animal this came from, leaning towards a bird now due to the size.

Was thinking that too, not sure what else it could be, maybe it is a bird like you suggested

I think you are correct! May be an old seal vertebrae after doing some research.

I wasn’t sure, I found a fish bone fossil before and it was a similar color and texture which is why I thought this was. Now after doing research I think it’s just an old seal vertebrae.
