I found a piece of petrified wood in the school yard. Of course, Mother threw it out.

My summer school science enrichment class went to an Indian burial mound in northern Ohio. We dug around and I found a bit of Indian cranium and some arrowheads. My mother promptly threw those away, being very superstitious.
