Hello, can someone please help me ID these two stone tools, or bombard me with "It's just a rock", "Looks like a rock", "Sorry, rock" comments if need be? Thank you!

Found near Stillwater, MN along the St. Çroix. I shot in portrait mode so everything is sideways, sorry.

Water-worn rocks, interesting but completely natural with the possible exception of the stone in the last 2 pics.

The first tan one was hit hard by something to break like that, but no evidence of working by people.

Hi, thank you. Just to clarify, the last six photos are of the same stone. I'll try to take better photos next time...put that degree in Photography to use. Ha.

The first stone looks like a neolithic throw toy to me, but that second one does not look like a chance formation. But I know little about the subject, just a little. An unfinished tool perhaps?

Sorry, they are all natural stones, not artifact tools at all.
