    This bust birdstone was found in 1977 by Earl Devereaux on a small shale bar in the Huron River in Erie County near Milan, Ohio. Bust birdstones are the rarest type. Only the head, neck and shoulder are represented, unlike most birdstones which have full bodies. Bust birdstones are also often made from harder stones. This birdstone is made of granite and measures 3 3/16 inches (8.1 cm) long.
   Bust birdstones are the most recently made types. They date to the Early Woodland period and have been found on Adena sites.
