Question I found a wooden object along the shoreline in Charleston, Oregon names Fossil Point. I was hunting Late Miocene Mollusks when I came across this wooded object. I checked out Runestone objects as I have studied this some a few years ago. It looks like ("Feoh") also ("Fehu") by the Nortic People's. It means "Possession's, literally meaning moveable wealth or possessiions. I have a picture taken of this object of which I can email it to you to check out. Just wanted to make sure if it is this Nortic or historic or Pre-Columbian artifact. Thenk you for any help. Larry

There is a way to attache photos to your All Experts questions but I'm not sure how it is done. So in the mean time, you can send me the pic at rsalier@hotmail.com and put in the subject line Fossil Point Artifact. Please send me a follow up question so that I can provide you the answer. or I will contact you via return email from your pic.
