I let it sit in warm water and look at all the hair that came off!

No sign of any work done by man on it, the hair is most likely from wild animals...

Sorry, they are just rocks that somehow hair stuck to. There is no alteration by man and there is no way you could scrape a hide with a rock that size and no sharp edge to scrape with.

I don't think that's an artifact either. Unless there is something we aren't seeing.

Natural and even if there was hair on it from ancient man the hair wouldnt still be on it. Have you ever seen anyone post a artifact with hair on it?

I've never seen a post on TNet, but ab 5 min from my house is Russell Cave

In there little museum exhibit they have pieces of pottery lined w/ hair.... I think the type of pottery is called crog or grog.

That's pottery that's tempered with hair. It's supposed to be there, in other words. Entirely different scenario then finding hair on a hide scraper that might be thousands of years old. That is not going to happen. Ever. And these are just rocks, not scrapers....

Looks like a ordinary rock sorry but there is no sign of human work in your rock here is a hide scraper i found in Riverside ca. The air looks human, cut human hair.

if that was hair from a scraper it would have been long ago washed off from the erosion of what you see as flaking. the flaking you see is much too smooth to anything less than many hundreds of years old. the stone is not correct either.
