It’s in good condition one little nick on one end

If you got a "Holy Cow" and a "Wow" from Tom, then I'm guessing it aint common

[Dlowe7023]

Are they rare or common finds

Very interesting Zoomorphic effigy bead! There have been examples shown here in the past. I did some searching and did find mention of poverty point locust effigy beads. You can read more here if you decide to sign up.

Here's a link to one that was shared in the past. I though we had a more in depth discussion but cant seem to find it. But you can see it here in group shot with other finds. I know somewhere he shared much better photos. Ill keep looking.

All this talk and looking at everything post here got me in the mood to go looking around this weekend. Something I haven’t done in over 20 years.
