Skepticism is good. One could imagine or make a case they were used for adornment, as in a necklace. Probably drove randy cavemen wild.

No, I’m not buying it either. No holes or ridges for the line to go through or wrap around. Not pointed enough to grab a fish, either. Possibly earrings or nose rings - same principle used today.
