For Indy:

QuoteShane Smith, owner of Red Antler Processing in Yazoo City, Mississippi, said he was examining contents of a 13-foot, 5-inch alligator that weighed 750 pounds and discovered two unusual objects. One he couldn't identify, but the other was clearly a broken stone arrowhead.

Gators, like many reptiles, will swallow bits of gravel to help their gizzard grind up food.  This one ingested an arrowhead in the process.
