Artifacts, found in Your Garden

[ninnymary]

Steve. we found bones last year and it might have been a child's! Well at least that's what we thought at then time. Our house being a small Victorian over 100 years old who knows. Ok, maybe it was a dog's. I kept them for a while but maybe I threw them away now. I'll see if I have a picture of them.

An online check seems to indicate three line mud snail. Though what one is doing that far inland is beyond me (maybe someone brought it back from a trip to the Atlantic ocean). Or maybe it can take fresh or brackish water as well and came from one of the larger rivers.

maybe a fossil version?

Not impossible, but it looks awfully clean for a fossil (i.e. it's still the right color for a fresh one, and the opening is free of stone. The latter could be taken care of by cleaning, but this was dug up from the ground.
