Rick N. MI Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It's symmetrical both sides. It is flat on both sides and the edges rounded. I kept it because it looks interesting. Could that be a blood stain on the rock after hundreds of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Appears to be a river rock. They were often used as hammerstones & grinding stones. The various tribes traded among themselves. Materials not native to an area often show up, having been imported, sometimes from long distances. Here in East Texas, I have found rocks similar to yours that you can see the striations on the flat sides from use. The closest native River Rock is hundreds of miles away. I have also found a nice arrowhead made of Black Obsidian. The closest deposits are in far West Texas & New Mexico. Neat finds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I have one just like that, it appears to be some kind of sandstone. It's not as symmetrical. Indian activity is a known fact here, and it's the only rock of its size that was unearthed when they Harley raked my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Strange how flat and rounded they are. The rock I have fits in hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the one I have is wet, three equal parallel lines show up. There isn't a rock this size anywhere around, they're even smaller in the river. I'm pretty sure what you have there is an ancient tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
