This is a classic. Probably not very many people have seen a Raccoons penis but this person on eBay is selling a “heat treated “ pendant. They must have found the remains of a coon in a shelter and are passing it off as an artifact . This one is funny 😄. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Fine-...ss!37321!US!-1

This bacculum was found with a bunch of beads...and the big end looks slightly modified.....like a groove.... I have a few dozen modern ones from roadkill and they are smoother in that spot though there is a shallower and shorter little triangular groove in that spot in older-age raccoons... The smaller end piece has a definite groove.Professor Shellman

Well, I sure am not familiar with such things, but is not Sam Cox one of the good guys? I always thought he was one of the best known collectors/dealers in the country? Here's his webpage. If the piece was found at a level containing artifacts, maybe it was collected prehistorically? I have no idea, but I believe Sam Cox has a good reputation in the artifact community. In which case, maybe it's not a case of "passing off".....

He may be one of the good guys I’ve never heard of him. I don’t mean to disparage him or his reputation. I just thought it was funny that they were selling one and the color looks very peculiar or still green/fresh to mean. I’ve hunted in a couple dry shelters in the pecos River region and these things are absolutely “dry” and never seen a bone like that but doesn’t mean there aren’t any. I have one dryish site here in Tennessee that is producing bone pieces and found a partial jaw bone of a possum and other things but they are not in as good of condition as that. It could just be a location thing.

Well, I don't know him personally. I see he's associated with the Overstreet guides:
With the increasing number of collectors entering the hobby today, the levels of corruption and deceit that have always plagued the hobby, are now of epic...

They remind me of my local famous moonshiner Popcorn Sutton he had one on his hat. The local moonshiners would use them when pouring to help keep splashing down when pouring into the jugs. Never knew they used them for ornaments I do have an anniversary coming up.?N.C. from the mountains to the sea

In Appalachia you give a necklace or pendant of these with a red ribbon/string to the girl you are sweet on. Well, used to...Professor Shellman
