  • Not sure what I found?

    Hey guys, can anyone I'D these? Both were found on the same gravel bar on my property in Leflore Co. OK. They look like bone, feel like stone, sound like ceramic. I found these several months apart. Thanks!

      I'd say the second pic is definitely a doll arm.

    It's organic whatever it is. I don't think it is porcelain.

      Here is more pics. Does fossilized bone look light colored like this? It's hard like stone, it's lightweight.

          Ok, did the tongue test.😝 I think I am leaning with Narrow Way. I believe after really looking them over that they may be very old pieces of ceramic or pottery. The one has texture that resembles animal hair, and looks to be leg with a hoof. The other piece looks like a doll shoulder. Thanks!

                They are not Porcelain they are Bisque. Much softer than Porcelain and yes used in to early 19th and 20th century in doll making. Bisque was a cheaper material and used to make many things. My dad collects Bisque pieces and has many and that's how I know this. Here is what I think you have pieces of. Notice how the arms are connected. K
