Thanks, Lin!

It's nice to know  there are folks with good common sense and superior
intelligence at talk.origins (but not many).
<
The artifact was indeed handcrafted for use as a tool or weapon or
both.
<
You are welcome to examine it personally if you wish, soon as it is
returned from Berlin where it has been on exhibit with my petrified
bones, teeth and soft organs (some human).
>
As for your earlier question whether these specimens are casts... No,
they're not! Casts don't contain Haversian canals (in petrified bone)
and wouldn't have positive results in other state-of-the-art testing
as conducted by prestigious medical institutions such as American
Medical Laaboratories in Chantilly, Va.
<
Meanwhile, former Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center bone expert
Jeremy Dahl, M.D., wouldn't have identified one of the specimens --
the only one he tested -- as BONE if it were not bone. He put his
conclusion on Yerkes stationery and
signed the letter.
<
And, besides, other tests were performed with very favorable results
including CATscans on some of my most intriguing specimens (about 15),
ALL with favorable results.
<
One CATscan, for example, revealed the specimen that I say is a human
gall bladder contains a gall stone.
>
Additionally, SEM photos at 2,000X showed the inner surface of one of
the specimens I insist is bone (the tibia) is identical to that of
non-petrified bone of the surface features of cadaver bone.

P.S. Lin, this response cannot go to talk.origins because it is not
allowing my postings to appear. So it is being sent to other news
groups and I hope you see it.
<
As for my willingness to let you examine the handcrafted tool handle
and other of my key specimens, you can email me at
edconrad@verizon.net

Nearly all of the above specimens underwent state-of-the-art 
scientific testing by major independent laboratories and 
proved, beyond doubt, that they are bones, teeth or soft organs.
