The second group features a Confederate Ringtail Sharps lead bullet from the Battle of Richmond, Virginia, dated April 1865. The third group contains fossilized walrus teeth showing natural mineralization in varying shades of cream and brown. The fourth group includes lead round ball projectiles attributed to the Battle of Jonesborough, Georgia, occurring August 31 to September 1, 1864. The metal and clay objects exhibit a weathered, excavated appearance consistent with their stated provenance, while the fossilized specimens show natural wear.
